Cardiovascular device distributors in the United Kingdom: 100 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 100 establishments in the United Kingdom whose registry records include cardiovascular: 0 independent distributors (a channel role such as importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative, and no manufacturing of their own), 29 manufacturers' own import or sales entities, 22 regulatory representatives, and 49 manufacturers or exporters, out of 6,118 medical device establishments in the United Kingdom overall. The records come from MHRA UK, US FDA (openFDA) and Health Canada, last seen on 23 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.

| Manufacturer | 58 | 58% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
| Exporter | 15 | 15% | 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%.
