Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by ownership interests: $547,733 of the $619,960 with a category attached, or 88.3%. Anika Therapeutics, Inc. accounts for 99.9% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $547,780 and has fallen 86.9% since, to $71,873 in 2022.
