Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — grants (58.4%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 65.9% of it on its own, with 16 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $107,905, more than ten times the $3,306 reported in 2022.
Across 199 payments — averaging $602.60 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
