Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (46.8%), speaking fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Penumbra, Inc. accounts for 84.1% of it on its own, with 16 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $19,970 and has fallen 58.2% since, to $8,347 in 2025. Among neurological surgery clinicians in PR 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.
