The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 22 establishments in Costa Rica whose registry records include orthopaedics, spine and trauma: 0 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 0 registration holders without a channel role, and 22 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 66 medical device establishments in Costa Rica overall. The records come from US FDA (openFDA), last seen on 22 October 2026.
Orthopaedics covers implants for joints, spine and trauma, together with instruments and bone substitutes. Implants are usually Class IIb or III, so the importer or registration holder carries real regulatory work and hospitals often buy through tenders. Distributors in this segment tend to employ clinical support staff who attend surgery.
