The comparison uses consecutive CMS program years only (current = prior + 1) from the manufacturer General Payments summary and excludes research and ownership or investment records. Non-consecutive year pairs are not shown as year-over-year change. This General Payments figure is not the all-tracks company total in the hero.

What the Data Shows for Vector Surgical, LLC
CMS Open Payments is not a single ledger: the all-tracks total shown above is General Payments plus Research Payments plus Ownership/Investment interests, each with its own disclosure rules. For Vector Surgical, LLC, that total blends General Payments (day-to-day consulting, meals, travel and speaking fees, shown separately above) with Research and Ownership/Investment interest records, each governed by its own CMS reporting rules. Data for a given Program Year arrives roughly a year after the period it covers; our methodology page documents the release cadence and how we standardize the tracks for cross-company comparison.
22 transactions worth $16.2K make "Consulting Fee" the top general-payment category in the 3-category breakdown below, 54.7% of General Payments (see our methodology for how research and ownership payments are reported separately).
