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 Switzerland

In Switzerland a manufacturer based outside the country needs a Swiss authorised representative (CH-REP) and a Swiss importer, both named on the labelling. The CH-REP can be independent of the distributor.

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.
