Surgical and endoscopy device distributors in New Zealand: 11 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 11 establishments in New Zealand whose registry records include surgery and endoscopy: 0 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 3 registration holders without a channel role, and 8 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 42 medical device establishments in New Zealand 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.
