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.

Who holds the registration in Canada

In Canada the device licence (MDALL) is held by the manufacturer, while importers and distributors need a Medical Device Establishment Licence (MDEL). The manufacturer keeps the product registration; the distributor's MDEL is its own and transfers nothing to it.

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.
