Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $3,830,729 of the $5,218,193 with a category attached, or 73.4%. Stryker accounts for 93.8% of it on its own, with 22 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $1,266,406 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $1,667 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in NC 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.
