# Bastion Hale Distributor Index > 53,592 licensed medical device establishments (importers, distributors, authorised representatives, registration holders and manufacturers) in 111 countries, compiled from public regulatory registries, resolved to one row per company per country. Company level only, no personal data. Updated 22 October 2026. Free to search; the paid Next 10 Markets report (€490) ranks ten markets for a device and names up to ten licensed distributors in each. Bastion Hale is an independent advisory for medical device companies that go beyond their home market through distributors. The Index is the free data layer; it does not vouch for any establishment. Imaging and radiology appear in the data because the registries contain them. ## Page types and URL patterns - Hub: https://bastionhale.com/distributors/ (totals, by region, every country with counts, FAQ, Dataset schema) - Country: https://bastionhale.com/distributors// (slug = lowercase English name with hyphens, e.g. saudi-arabia, united-arab-emirates, united-states, germany) - Country x segment: https://bastionhale.com/distributors/// (only where the count is 10 or more) - Establishment profile: https://bastionhale.com/e// (e.g. /e/de/e_1234567890ab; rendered on request from registry data) - Badge for listed companies: https://bastionhale.com/badge/index-badge.svg (embed code is shown on every profile) - Search: https://bastionhale.com/?q= (on the home page) - Methodology, sources, licences and how to cite: https://bastionhale.com/methodology/ - Longer machine-readable version of this file: https://bastionhale.com/llms-full.txt - Sitemaps: https://bastionhale.com/sitemap.xml (pages and indexable profiles) - Sample data: CSV of the top 200 establishments for five markets, listed below - Languages: English only today.
