Cardiovascular device distributors in Brazil: 674 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 674 establishments in Brazil whose registry records include cardiovascular: 293 independent distributors (a channel role such as importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative, and no manufacturing of their own), 364 manufacturers' own import or sales entities, 7 regulatory representatives, and 10 manufacturers or exporters, out of 4,256 medical device establishments in Brazil overall. The records come from ANVISA Brazil, US FDA (openFDA) and MHRA UK, last seen on 23 October 2026.
Cardiovascular covers stents, catheters, pacemakers, heart valves, ECG and vascular access. Most products are implantable or high risk, which concentrates the segment in fewer, better capitalised importers. Reimbursement rules shape who can sell here more than in any other segment.
By role
| Role | Establishments | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Importer | 622 | 92% | Named as importer in a registry: EUDAMED importer, FDA initial importer, or a Gulf import licence. |
| Distributor | 644 | 96% | Holds a distribution licence or is listed as distributor (Health Canada MDEL, SFDA, Oman MOH). |
| Registration holder | 673 | 100% | Holds device licences or registrations in its own name (Health Canada MDALL licence holder). |
| Manufacturer | 282 | 42% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
| Exporter | 302 | 45% | Registered with the US FDA as an exporter of devices made for export. |
An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in Brazil
In Brazil the ANVISA registration is held by a Brazilian Registration Holder (BRH). If the distributor is the BRH, it owns the registration; an independent holder lets you appoint and replace distributors under it.
