Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by grants: $40,000 of the $46,533 with a category attached, or 86.0%. Acumed LLC accounts for 67.1% of it on its own, with 19 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $41,941 and has fallen 99.0% since, to $417 in 2025. Among plastic surgery clinicians in MO 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.
