XGLU - an accessible solution for self-monitoring of blood glucose

Endojoystick - changing the endoscopy

Launched2021-present

The product is intended for medical doctors who perform endoscopic procedures. The Endojoystick reduces pain connected with prolonged use of the endoscope and improves precision of movements. The project is based on an idea of our friend who is an experienced endoscopist. The XGLU did the rest - development, tooling, production and now distributes the product across Europe. The device is based on injection-molded parts from high-performance thermoplastic composites and CNC machined titanum and aluminium parts. To this day, it has a stellar track record - 0 premature failures after more than 5000 procedures.

Disposable glucose meter

In development, patented2018-present

Our main research activity - development of a disposable glucose meter - solves the self-monitoring problem in both developing and developed world. In developing countries, the market penetration with blood glucose meters is minimal while in developed countries, glucose meters do not get to the low-frequency patients because of high associated cost with their placement. The result is a device with several biosensors with a custom electrochromic display which drastically reduces the barrier of entry to self-monitoring to under 1 USD. For this product, we have developed a low-cost (< 0.005 USD/sqcm) non-toxic biodegradable electrochromic display which is the basis of the product. Patent pending worldwide (WO2020207514A1), patented in Czech Republic (CZ308359B6), international applications filed in EU, USA, EAPO, India.

VoiceGlu glucose meter

In development2018-present

In cooperation with "Czech Blind United" (SONS z.s.) and Preciosa Foundation, we developed a working prototype of a new glucose meter for Czech visually-impaired diabetes patients and elderly patients. The glucose meter has voice output in Czech language which was specifically designed by patients for patients. We are now looking for financial partners to put the solution to the market.

Custom research equipment for controlled cell growth

Delivered2017 - now

In 2017, a customer from academia sent us an inquiry about the design of a research instrument to be used in a 24/7 experiment based on cell growth under strictly controlled atmosphere. The customer wanted to develop a more economical solution than to purchase an incubator with the option of controlled atmosphere. The right choice of materials was crucial to achieve both sufficiently low gas leakage and very low off-gassing at the same time. XGLU designed, developed and manufactured the devices for the customer. Around 10 of these devices are employed in a 24/7 operation to this day.
