Cardiovascular device distributors in Ireland: 42 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 42 establishments in Ireland whose registry records include cardiovascular: 10 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 4 registration holders without a channel role, and 28 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 627 medical device establishments in Ireland overall. The records come from US FDA (openFDA), EUDAMED and Health Canada, 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.
By role
| Role | Establishments | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Importer | 6 | 14% | Named as importer in a registry: EUDAMED importer, FDA initial importer, or a Gulf import licence. |
| Authorised representative | 7 | 17% | Represents a foreign manufacturer towards the regulator (EU authorised representative and similar). |
| Registration holder | 10 | 24% | Holds device licences or registrations in its own name (Health Canada MDALL licence holder). |
| Manufacturer | 41 | 98% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
| Exporter | 4 | 10% | Registered with the US FDA as an exporter of devices made for export. |
An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in Ireland
In the EU and EEA the manufacturer, or its EU authorised representative for manufacturers based outside the EU, registers in EUDAMED and holds the CE marking file. Importers and distributors register separately as economic operators and never own the registration, which is why EU channel changes are easier than elsewhere.
