Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by other: $819,327 of the $858,925 with a category attached, or 95.4%. Medtronic accounts for 96.9% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $822,727 and has fallen 99.6% since, to $3,450 in 2025. Among surgery clinicians in MI 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.
