Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (42.1%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Penumbra, Inc. accounts for 70.3% of it on its own, with 23 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $4,763, more than ten times the $92 reported in 2021. Among acute care clinicians in OK with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 71 payments — averaging $75.60 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
