Surgical and endoscopy device distributors in Belgium: 47 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 47 establishments in Belgium whose registry records include surgery and endoscopy: 24 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 1 registration holders without a channel role, and 22 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 690 medical device establishments in Belgium overall. The records come from EUDAMED, US FDA (openFDA), web and Health Canada, last seen on 23 October 2026.
General and plastic surgery covers instruments, electrosurgery, endoscopes, sutures and staplers. Most registries place surgical instruments in their largest category, so this segment usually has the most establishments and the widest spread of company sizes. Many of them are small instrument makers and importers rather than full-line distributors.

| Role | Establishments | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Importer | 22 | 47% | Named as importer in a registry: EUDAMED importer, FDA initial importer, or a Gulf import licence. |
| Distributor | 1 | 2% | Holds a distribution licence or is listed as distributor (Health Canada MDEL, SFDA, Oman MOH). |
| Authorised representative | 7 | 15% | Represents a foreign manufacturer towards the regulator (EU authorised representative and similar). |
| Registration holder | 2 | 4% | Holds device licences or registrations in its own name (Health Canada MDALL licence holder). |

| Exporter | 9 | 19% | Registered with the US FDA as an exporter of devices made for export. |

Who holds the registration in Belgium
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.
