Surgical and endoscopy device distributors in Mexico: 128 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 128 establishments in Mexico whose registry records include surgery and endoscopy: 0 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 2 registration holders without a channel role, and 126 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 314 medical device establishments in Mexico overall. The records come from US FDA (openFDA) and Health Canada, last seen on 22 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.

| Manufacturer | 122 | 95% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
| Exporter | 28 | 22% | Registered with the US FDA as an exporter of devices made for export. |
