Hospital consumables distributors in Belgium: 47 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 47 establishments in Belgium whose registry records include general hospital and consumables: 24 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 0 registration holders without a channel role, and 23 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 690 medical device establishments in Belgium overall. The records come from EUDAMED, US FDA (openFDA), web and Health Canada, last seen on 23 October 2026.
General hospital and consumables covers syringes, gloves, wound care, infusion, sterilisation and infection control. It is a high-volume, low-margin business where wholesalers and group purchasing dominate. Local manufacturing is common, so many establishments here are domestic producers rather than importers.

Who holds the registration in Belgium
In the EU and EEA the manufacturer, or its EU authorised representative for manufacturers based outside the EU, registers in EUDAMED and holds the CE marking file. Importers and distributors register separately as economic operators and never own the registration, which is why EU channel changes are easier than elsewhere.
