Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $10,182,797 of the $11,254,173 with a category attached, or 90.5%. Smith+Nephew accounts for 95.7% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $2,898,942 and has fallen 50.3% since, to $1,440,701 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in NY 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.
