Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — grants (56.6%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Smith+Nephew accounts for 66.8% of it on its own, with 18 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $7,913, more than ten times the $240 reported in 2019.
Across 125 payments — averaging $141.35 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
