Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $1,582,425 of the $1,582,714 with a category attached, or 100.0%. Zimmer Biomet accounts for 100.0% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $651,348 and has fallen 89.8% since, to $66,202 in 2025. Among surgery clinicians in IL 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.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
