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.

Who holds the registration in Australia
In Australia the ARTG entry is held by an Australian sponsor, which is usually the importer or distributor or a local subsidiary. If the distributor is the sponsor, the market entry belongs to it until a transfer is agreed.
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later. The Next 10 Markets report covers who holds the registration in each of your ten markets.
