Medtrum said its higher-capacity 300-unit tubeless patch pump is advancing toward launch in Germany after a presentation at DDG 2026 in Berlin and a listing in the country’s statutory health insurance medical aids directory. The move expands the TouchCare Nano System in Europe and adds a larger reservoir option for people with greater insulin needs.

Why it matters: - The 300U pump gives Medtrum a higher-capacity option for people who need larger insulin doses. - The launch could improve day-to-day therapy by reducing how often users need to replace the pump. - The product adds another reservoir choice to Medtrum’s TouchCare Nano System in Europe.

What happened: - Medtrum announced progress toward the German launch of its 300-unit tubeless patch pump on July 27, 2026. - The pump was presented at DDG 2026 in Berlin. - The 300U version was listed in Germany’s statutory health insurance medical aids directory, known as the GKV-Hilfsmittelverzeichnis. - The pump received its own reimbursement code, which is an important step toward commercialization in Germany.

The details: - The 300U reservoir offers 50% more capacity than commonly used 200-unit patch pumps. - The pump keeps the same discreet, tubeless, body-worn design as lower-capacity versions. - Medtrum says the added capacity is intended to provide more flexibility in everyday diabetes management. - The 300U pump is already available in selected international markets. - The product expands Medtrum’s tubeless insulin delivery portfolio in Europe. - At DDG 2026, the 300U pump was featured in Medtrum’s exhibition theme, “Medtrum macht mehr möglich” (“Medtrum makes more possible”). - The TouchCare Nano System combines tubeless patch pump therapy, continuous glucose monitoring, the APGO automated insulin delivery algorithm, mobile app control and remote data sharing. - The system is designed to help users monitor glucose trends, automate insulin delivery, simplify mealtime insulin decisions and keep caregivers informed when needed. - At ATTD 2026, Medtrum presented enhancements to SmartRun Advanced Auto Mode and Auto Meal Handling. - Auto Meal Handling lets users announce a meal type instead of completing a full carbohydrate calculation. - Medtrum technologies are available in more than 50 countries and regions. - The company has secured regulatory approvals and reimbursement pathways in selected markets. - In 2024, the TouchCare AID System received CE certification under the EU Medical Device Regulation as a Class III medical device. - Medtrum plans to continue engaging healthcare professionals, clinical partners and industry stakeholders through congresses, collaborations and evidence-generation work. - Upcoming activity includes the 62nd EASD Annual Meeting this fall in Milan. - Medtrum said the company will continue the dialogue there around connected diabetes care and the needs of people with diabetes. - More information is available on Medtrum’s official website.

Between the lines: - Germany is a strategic market for Medtrum because of its reimbursement structure and strong clinical adoption of diabetes technology. - The reimbursement code suggests Medtrum is moving from visibility at a congress toward market access planning. - The 300U pump helps Medtrum differentiate its portfolio in a crowded insulin-delivery market by targeting users with higher insulin requirements. - Medtrum’s push around clinical evidence and partnerships signals that reimbursement and adoption remain central to the company’s European expansion.

What’s next: - Medtrum expects the German launch to follow as commercial and reimbursement steps progress. - The company will use regional and international scientific meetings to support the rollout and build clinical awareness. - Medtrum is likely to keep positioning the TouchCare Nano System as a connected diabetes platform rather than a single device.

The bottom line: - Medtrum is turning regulatory and reimbursement milestones into a clearer path for its higher-capacity patch pump in Germany and broader Europe.
