How do I know the medical device you supply is genuine?

For every branded device we document the supply chain and can provide genuineness verification by reference to the authorised channel the product came through. We can also support direct verification with the manufacturer on request.

Do you sell parallel-imported medical devices?

No. Parallel imports compromise warranty, service, and regulatory standing. We source only through authorised channels.

Which supply route applies to my brand and market?

It depends on the brand, the product line and the destination market. We confirm the exact route — manufacturer-direct or OEM-authorised re-distribution — in writing at quotation stage, so you know the channel before you commit.

Will the OEM honour warranty on equipment you supply?

Where a product is sourced through an authorised channel the manufacturer warranty applies, and we register and activate warranty on capital equipment delivery. The exact warranty terms are confirmed in writing for each order before it is placed.

Can you arrange OEM service contracts?

Yes — through the manufacturer's in-country service network or directly with the OEM, depending on the brand and market.

What if a brand isn't on your standard list?

If the brand has an authorised distribution structure we can typically source it via that structure. Tell us what you need and we'll come back with the channel and the indicative price.

Brand Portfolio

Medical Device Brands — Supplied Through Authorised, Documented Channels

We source branded medical devices through legitimate supply channels only — manufacturer-direct where a supply arrangement is in place, or through a distributor that holds the manufacturer's authorisation for the territory. The channel, documentation and warranty position are confirmed in writing for each order.

Chapter 01

Why brand authenticity matters

Counterfeit and parallel-imported medical devices are an active risk in international medical equipment trade. They look like the real product, often cost less, and sometimes function — until they don't. For buyers, the consequences range from voided warranty to clinical failure to regulatory action. Brand authenticity is not a marketing detail; it is a clinical-safety requirement.

We source every branded medical device through authorised channels — manufacturer-direct where a supply arrangement is in place for the market and product, and OEM-authorised re-distribution otherwise. In both cases we document the chain and can evidence it for the specific brand, product and territory on request.

Chapter 02

Manufacturer-direct supply

Where a manufacturer-direct supply arrangement is in place for the relevant market and product, the buyer gets several practical benefits: the manufacturer recognises the warranty without dispute, the manufacturer's in-country service network is available, the manufacturer can verify genuineness on request, and the product is documented as coming from a verified supply path.

Hologic-branded systems — breast health, molecular diagnostics, surgical, and skeletal health — are among the portfolios buyers most often ask us to source. See the Hologic page for the full product set; the supply route for a specific product and market is confirmed at quotation stage.

Chapter 03

OEM-authorised re-distribution

For brands where we do not hold direct distributor status, we source through OEM-authorised re-distribution — that is, through a distributor that holds the manufacturer's authorisation for the relevant territory. We document the chain (who authorised whom, for which products, for which territory) and we provide manufacturer-recognised genuineness verification on request. We do not source via unauthorised parallel-import channels.

Chapter 04

What 'OEM warranty' actually means

Manufacturer warranty is only valuable if the manufacturer recognises it. For products sourced through authorised channels, the manufacturer recognises the warranty without dispute — meaning if the equipment fails within warranty, the OEM honours it. For products sourced through unauthorised channels (parallel imports, grey-market resale) the manufacturer may refuse warranty, refuse service, or refuse to acknowledge the supply chain at all.

Buyers occasionally see unauthorised parallel imports at attractive prices. The price difference reflects exactly this trade-off — and in critical clinical equipment, it rarely makes sense.

Chapter 05

Brand portfolio breadth

Across manufacturer-direct supply and OEM-authorised re-distribution, we supply branded medical equipment across capital equipment, IVD platforms, surgical / interventional devices, monitoring, anaesthesia / ventilation, and single-use medical devices. The breadth of brand access lets us match brand to clinical specification rather than forcing buyers into a single-brand commitment.
