Broad incumbents

• Henry Schein: Large distributor of healthcare products to physician, dental, and animal health offices, with a strong medical device and practice solutions portfolio. Comparable to Cliba as a medical/dental equipment distributor serving healthcare providers, although Henry Schein operates at global scale across many specialties.
• Boston Scientific: Global medical device manufacturer with significant endoscopy and bariatric endoscopy portfolios distributed through regional partners in Latin America. Comparable to Cliba as a supplier of endoscopic and bariatric devices reaching gastroenterologists and endoscopists, though Boston Scientific is a manufacturer rather than a regional distributor.
• Owens & Minor: Healthcare logistics and medical product distribution company serving hospitals and providers across the Americas. Comparable to Cliba in distributing medical-surgical supplies to healthcare providers, though Owens & Minor operates at much larger scale and broader product breadth.
• B. Braun: Family-owned global medical device and pharmaceutical company offering surgical, infusion, and nutrition therapy products distributed across Latin America. Comparable as a multinational medical device supplier with a presence in regional healthcare markets similar to Cliba's DR footprint.
• McKesson: Global leader in healthcare distribution and biopharma services, supplying medical-surgical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and specialty products to providers worldwide. Comparable as a medical wholesale distributor serving healthcare professionals, though substantially larger and more diversified than Cliba.
• Cardinal Health: One of the largest U.S. medical product distributors and healthcare services companies, distributing pharmaceuticals and medical/surgical supplies globally. Comparable as a broad incumbent in medical equipment distribution, though operating at vastly larger scale than Cliba.
• Medtronic: Global medical device manufacturer with a bariatric and metabolic franchise (including gastric stimulation and surgical devices) and broad distribution partnerships worldwide. Comparable in that it produces and sells obesity/bariatric medical technology, though Medtronic is a manufacturer rather than a regional distributor.
• Johnson & Johnson MedTech: Diversified medical device division with products spanning bariatric surgery, endoscopy, and surgical solutions distributed globally. Comparable to Cliba in selling bariatric/endoscopic devices to specialist physicians, though at vastly greater scale and product breadth.
• Olympus Corporation: Global leader in endoscopy and minimally invasive medical devices, with bariatric endoscopy products sold through local distributors in Latin America. Comparable to Cliba in supplying gastroenterologists and endoscopists, though Olympus is a manufacturer served by distributor networks rather than the distributor itself.

Emerging players

• Spatz FGIA: Manufacturer of the Spatz3 adjustable gastric balloon, a competing intragastric balloon device used for non-surgical weight loss. Comparable to Allurion (and therefore to Cliba as its distributor) as a direct competitor in the endoscopic obesity balloon category, often distributed through regional medical device partners.
