Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $8,277 of the $9,641 with a category attached, or 85.9%. 17 manufacturers reported payments, led by Atricure, Inc. at 24.9% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $3,819, 9.1 times the $418 reported in 2021. Among surgical clinicians in CT with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 119 payments — averaging $81.02 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
