Loop Medical reveals second disruptive device and seeks partners
Painless blood draws—now in high volume and universal tube adaptability
Imagine blood testing being painless, needle-free, and simple enough to be done at home. How much more often would you get a test? Loop Medical is turning this vision into reality with Maxflow. Today, Loop is looking for financial partners to fuel its journey to the market.
We have more blood tests today than ever. Yet, the painful needles and syringes haven’t changed much since 1955.
Fingerpricks also fall short because of the risk of hemolysis and the low blood volume collected.
Theranos – a healthcare pioneer who overpromised what the fingerprick could do – is a prime example of the model’s shortcomings.
In a perfect scenario, we would have a universal blood collection system that guarantees:
High volume
Sample quality
Compatibility with standard lab analyzers
A painless process
A Breakthrough
In 2022, Loop Medical performed the first clinical study using its painless, needle-free blood collection device: Onflow.
Onflow is a simple, needle-free blood collection device that can collect enough blood for most tests. Anywhere. In minutes. (Here’s a 1-minute video that explains Onflow)
The result? Onflow scored outstanding numbers:
97.5% success rate in collecting samples
95-100% precision
99.8% compatibility with the standard Roche Cobas analyzers
Loop Medical’s breakthrough device secured funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Onflow’s 1 ml of painless blood was enough for most blood tests. But Loop Medical didn’t stop here.
A bigger breakthrough
Loop Medical didn’t stop at 1 ml.
In 2024, the Swiss company announced the development of its latest product, Maxflow.
Maxflow’s design ensures compatibility with a broad range of tubes, including the S-Monovette® system by Sarstedt—a shareholder and long-time supporter of Loop Medical.
“Maxflow’s versatile compatibility providers to adopt innovations while maintaining their workflows,”
~ Arthur Queval, CEO and Founder of Loop Medical.
Loop Medical is looking for additional strategic partners to fund Maxflow’s journey to the market.
The benefits
Onflow has already proven its user-friendliness and painlessness for users.
Maxflow builds on Onflow’s success and adds the following benefits for healthcare professionals:
High-volume, quality blood: Maxflow collects 3-4 ml of blood (hemolysis-free)
High compatibility supporting a larger panel of tests using standard tubes
Meets the surge in precision medicine in fields like cancer screening and liquid biopsy
A call for financial partners
Loop Medical is now open for financial partnerships to fund Maxflow’s journey to the market.
