Pelikan’s initial product is the Pelikan Sun electronic lancing device. It was commercially launched in the United States and in a number of European countries in late 2007.
On September 28, 2011, Pelikan Technologies, Inc. filed a voluntary petition for liquidation under Chapter 7 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose.
