Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $17,960,361 of the $17,960,867 with a category attached, or 100.0%. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, Medtronic. 2025 is the largest year on record at $5,156,899, more than ten times the $332 reported in 2019. Among surgery clinicians in WI 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.
