Ascensia Contour Blood Glucose Test Strips

If you manage diabetes with a Bayer or Ascensia Contour meter, the single most important thing is using the test strip that matches your device. This collection brings together the full Contour lineup — from original Contour strips to Contour Next — so you can reorder the exact strip your meter is calibrated for without guessing at part numbers.

Compatibility is the deciding factor. The 7278 and 7277 Contour Next strips are designed for Contour Next meters, while the 7312 strips pair with the Contour Next One and require no coding. Older systems use the original Contour strips: the 7098C for the Bayer Ascensia Contour meter, the 7080G for the 9545 meter, and the 7090G for tiny-sample testing. Matching the strip to your specific model ensures accurate readings — a strip built for one meter won't reliably work in another.

Two features run across the range that matter day to day: a tiny 0.6 microliter blood sample, which means a smaller, more comfortable lancet stick, and fast results in about 5 seconds. Contour Next strips also use Second-Chance sampling technology, letting you reapply blood to the same strip if your first drop is too small — which cuts down on wasted strips and repeat fingersticks.

Because test strips are a recurring cost, buying in volume helps. Several products here ship as multi-pack cases — for example, 24 packs of 50 strips (7098C and 7309) — which lowers the per-strip price for anyone testing multiple times a day. Smaller single packs and 70-count boxes are available when you'd rather not stock up.

Not sure which strip your device takes? Check the meter model printed on the back of your device against the compatibility notes above, or browse the wider Contour Products range to find meters, lancets, and accessories that complete your testing kit.
