MicroTech Medical, a China-based diabetes management medical device company, plans to raise up to USD 300m via a Hong Kong listing.The company's core product insulin patch pump system (Equil) has received NMPA approval in 2018 and EU's CE marking in 2017. It has design features that are more appealing than both the tubed players as well as the patch pump competitors. Having said that, we note that the insulin pump market is competitive and the company's sales data after product launch is far from being ideal. The company's pre-IPO investor is decent. The management team has relevant product development experience but is not considered a superstar team.
