** Dental cos XRAY and NVST have less than 10% revenue from Mexico, Leerink says

** Brokerage says the medical supply market will also be hit by high tariff costs from various Southeast Asian countries, and added "the biggest direct impact would be on PPE (personal protective equipment)- which is heavily sourced from Malaysia and other countries in the region"

** Shares of medical supplies distributors Henry Schein HSIC.O down 4% and Owens & Minor OMI.N fall 7.6%
