Cardiovascular device distributors in Canada: 114 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 114 establishments in Canada whose registry records include cardiovascular: 57 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 34 registration holders without a channel role, and 23 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 2,745 medical device establishments in Canada overall. The records come from Health Canada and US FDA (openFDA), last seen on 22 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.
