Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $34,266 of the $37,640 with a category attached, or 91.0%. Medtronic accounts for 92.9% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $35,991 and has fallen 99.3% since, to $251 in 2025. Among vascular surgery clinicians in WA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
