Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Description of Business Solventum Corporation ("Solventum" or the "Company") was a carve-out business of 3M Company ("3M"). On April 1, 2024 (the "Distribution Date"), 3M completed the previously announced spin-off of Solventum Corporation (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off was completed through a distribution of approximately 80.1% of the Company's outstanding common stock to holders of record of 3M's common stock as of the close of business on March 18, 2024 (the "Distribution"), which resulted in the issuance of 172,709,505 shares of common stock. As a result of the Distribution, the Company became an independent public company. Solventum's common stock is listed under the symbol "SOLV" on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Solventum is a leading global healthcare company with a broad portfolio of trusted solutions that leverage deep material science, data science, and digital capabilities to address critical customer needs. Solventum is organized into four operating business segments that are aligned with the end markets that we serve: MedSurg, Dental Solutions, Health Information Systems, and Purification and Filtration. Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ( " GAAP " ) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and present the historical results of operations, and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the financial position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The interim condensed consolidated and combined financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated and combined financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These adjustments consist of normal, recurring items. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Effective April 1, 2024, the Company's financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, as the Spin-Off from 3M was completed on such date. The unaudited financial statements for all periods following the Spin-Off are referred to as the "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements." Prior to April 1, 2024, Solventum was a carve-out business of 3M Company . The Company's financial statements prior to April 1, 2024 were prepared on a combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of 3M, including the historical cost basis of assets and liabilities comprising the Company, as well as the historical revenues, direct costs, and allocations of indirect costs attributable to the operations of the Company, using the historical accounting policies applied by 3M. The historical financial statements of the Company prior to April 1, 2024, are referred to as the "Condensed Combined Financial Statements". All intercompany transactions and balances within Solventum have been eliminated. These unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include certain transactions with 3M, which are disclosed as related party transactions in Note 14 "Related Parties". The unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements and related footnotes as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the " SEC " ) on March 11, 2024, which became effective on March 13, 2024 (the " Information Statement " ).

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company's income tax provision through March 31, 2024 was prepared on a separate return basis. The income tax provision post Spin-Off is prepared based on a stand-alone basis. The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 7.3% and 22.3%, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate is primarily due to a favorable change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 23.3% and 20.9% , respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate is primarily due to the tax impact of legal entity restructuring in connection with the Spin-Off in 2024. In 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) announced Pillar Two Model Rules which call for the taxation of large multinational corporations at a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Many non-U.S. tax jurisdictions, including Ireland, have either recently enacted legislation to adopt certain components of the Pillar Two Model Rules beginning in fiscal 2024 or announced their plans to enact legislation in future years. The Company's income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2024, reflects currently enacted legislation and guidance related to the OECD model rules. The Company's income tax provision or benefit for the interim periods is determined based on an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. Because significant foreign earnings are generated by the Company's subsidiaries organized in jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates, the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate may be materially impacted if earnings in these lower-tax jurisdictions fluctuate. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized based on evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence. On the basis of this evaluation, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount realizable. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, valuation allowances were $21 million and $56 million, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to separation-related adjustments in connection with the Spin-Off on April 1, 2024, which is reflected in the statements of changes in equity.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings	Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings Carrying value includes the impact of debt issuance costs. Long-term debt and short-term borrowings as of June 30, 2024 consisted of the following: (Millions) Currency/ Fixed vs. Floating Effective Interest Rate Final Maturity Date Carrying Value Description June 30, 2024 $500 million eighteen USD Floating 6.80 % 2025 $ 499 $1 billion three USD Floating 6.80 2027 979 $1 billion 5.45 percent three USD Fixed 5.62 2027 994 $1.5 billion 5.40 percent five USD Fixed 5.58 2029 1,486 $1 billion 5.45 percent seven USD Fixed 5.60 2031 990 $1.65 billion 5.60 percent ten USD Fixed 5.70 2034 1,635 $1.25 billion 5.90 percent thirty USD Fixed 5.99 2054 1,231 $500 million 6.00 percent forty USD Fixed 6.09 2064 492 Other borrowings — Total long-term debt 8,306 Less: current portion of long-term debt — Long-term debt (excluding current portion) $ 8,306 Senior Notes On February 27, 2024, the Company issued six series of senior notes with a combined aggregate principal amount of $6.9 billion: $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.45% senior notes due 2027, $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.40% senior notes due 2029, $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.45% senior notes due 2031, $1.65 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.60% senior notes due 2034, $1.25 aggregate principal amount of 5.90% senior notes due 2054, and $0.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.00% senior notes due 2064 (together the "Senior Notes"). Interest payments on the Senior Notes are due semi-annually until maturity, with the first payment due in August 2024. The Company recorded $62 million of debt issuance costs related to the Senior Notes. Debt issuance costs are presented as a reduction of debt in the condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets and are amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method. In connection with the issuance of the senior notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers, pursuant to which the Company was obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and cause to become effective a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange each series of senior notes for registered notes with terms that are substantially identical in all material respects to the notes of such series. The Senior Notes were offered as part of the financing for the Spin-Off. In connection with the consummation of the Spin-Off, Solventum made direct and indirect cash payments to 3M as partial consideration for 3M’s transfer of its health care business to Solventum. All of the net proceeds from the offering of the notes were paid to 3M, other than any amounts retained in order to achieve the $600 million retained cash target. The senior notes were initially fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by 3M. Such guarantees of the senior notes were automatically and unconditionally terminated upon the completion of the Spin-Off. The Company’s senior notes are governed by an indenture and supplemental indenture between the Company and a trustee (collectively, the " Indenture " ). The Indenture contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to consolidate, merge, convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets. In addition, the Indenture contains other customary terms, including certain events of default, upon the occurrence of which, the senior notes may be declared immediately due and payable. Credit Facilities On February 16, 2024, the Company entered into credit agreements providing for: • a five year senior unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $2.0 billion expiring in 2029 (the "5-year Revolving Credit Facility"); and • an eighteen month senior unsecured term loan credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $500 million and a three year senior unsecured term credit loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion (together the " Term Loan Credit Facilities " , and together with the 5-Year Revolving Credit Facility, the "Credit Facilities"). The Company intends to use the Credit Facilities for general corporate purposes. At June 30, 2024, there are no amounts outstanding under the 5-year Revolving Credit Facility. On March 7, 2024, the Company drew on the Term Loan Credit Facilities in the amount of $1.48 billion. These Term Loan Credit Facilities have a floating interest rate based on a Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") index. Commercial Paper On March 4, 2024, the Company entered into a commercial paper program that allows Solventum to issue up to $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of short-term notes to finance short-term liabilities. Any such issuance will mature within 364 days from date of issue. There was no commercial paper outstanding as of June 30, 2024. Future Maturities of Long-term Debt: The contractual maturities of long-term debt for the periods subsequent to June 30, 2024 are as follows (in millions): Remainder of 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 After 2029 Total $ — $ 500 $ — $ 1,980 $ — $ 1,500 $ 4,400 $ 8,380 Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value At June 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes was $8.3 billion compared to a carrying value of $8.3 billion. The Company did not have any outstanding debt obligations at December 31, 2023. The fair value was estimated using quoted market prices for the publicly registered Senior Notes, which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values and principal values consider the terms of the related debt and exclude the impacts of debt discounts.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans	Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans Transfer of Solventum Sponsored Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans Historically, certain employees of Solventum participated in U.S. and non-U.S. retirement plans sponsored by 3M. The primary U.S. defined-benefit pension plan was closed to new participants effective January 1, 2009. In December 2023, 3M committed to the future freeze of U.S. defined benefit pension benefits for non-union U.S. employees, effective December 31, 2028. During March 2024, in advance of the Spin-Off, all U.S. and most remaining 3M sponsored non-U.S. pension and postretirement plan obligations and assets were legally transferred to Solventum from 3M Company, except for certain assets held back within the 3M sponsored pension plan for regulatory purposes. Assets not yet delivered from 3M sponsored pension plans are already recognized within the Company's pension assets. These plans included the U.S. defined benefit pension plans as well as postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for U.S. employees who reach a retirement age while employed by the Company and were employed prior to January 1, 2016. Additionally, seven international plans covering employees in four countries were transferred to Solventum from 3M Company during March 2024. As these plans are sponsored by Solventum, they are accounted for as single employer plans. Therefore, the funded status is reflected in the condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets, and the net periodic benefit costs are included in the condensed consolidated and combined statements of income. The Company has made deposits for its defined benefit plans with independent trustees. In certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, trust funds and deposits with insurance companies are maintained to provide pension benefits to plan participants and their beneficiaries. There are no plan assets in the non-qualified plan due to its nature. For the U.S. postretirement health care benefit plan, the Company has set aside amounts at least equal to annual benefit payments with an independent trustee. Components of net periodic cost and other amounts recognized in other comprehensive (income) loss The service cost component of defined benefit net periodic benefit cost is recorded in costs of product; costs of software and rentals; selling, general and administrative; and research and development.

Derivatives

Derivatives	6 Months Ended

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	Derivatives Prior to April 1, 2024, Solventum indirectly participated in 3M’s centrally managed hedging program, which utilizes a number of tools to manage currency risk including natural hedges such as pricing, productivity, hard currency, hard currency-indexed billings, and localizing source of supply. 3M also used financial hedges to mitigate currency risk. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, Solventum established its own hedging program. Cash Flow Hedges - For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. Cash Flow Hedging - Foreign Currency Forward Contracts: The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These transactions are designated as cash flow hedges. The settlement or extension of these derivatives will result in reclassifications (from accumulated other comprehensive income) to earnings in the period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. Solventum may de-designate these cash flow hedge relationships in advance of the occurrence of the forecasted transaction. The portion of gains or losses on the derivative instrument previously included in accumulated other comprehensive income for de-designated hedges remains in accumulated other comprehensive income until the forecasted transaction occurs or becomes probable of not occurring. Changes in the value of derivative instruments after de-designation are recorded in earnings. The maximum length of time over which Solventum hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows of the forecasted transactions is 36 months. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a balance of $1 million associated with the after-tax net unrealized gain associated with cash flow hedging instruments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2024 of the total after-tax net unrealized balance as of June 30, 2024, Solventum expects to reclassify approximately $1 million after-tax net unrealized gain over the next 12 months (with the impact offset by earnings/losses from underlying hedged items). The amount of pretax gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges is provided in the following table.

Location, Fair Value, and Gross Notional Amounts of Derivative Instruments The following tables summarize the fair value of Solventum’s derivative instruments and their location in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Notional amounts below are presented at period end foreign exchange rates. Gross Notional Amount Assets Liabilities (Millions) Location Fair Value Amount Location Fair Value Amount June 30, December 31, June 30, December 31, June 30, December 31, 2024 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency forward contracts $ 172 $ — Other current assets $ 2 $ — Other current liabilities $ — $ — Foreign currency forward contracts — — Other assets — — Other liabilities — — Total derivatives designated as hedging instruments $ 172 $ — $ 2 $ — $ — $ — The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities within the scope of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , are required to be recorded at fair value. The Company’s derivatives that are recorded at fair value include foreign currency forward contracts. Solventum has determined that foreign currency forward contracts will be considered level 2 measurements. Solventum uses inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates and volatilities. Derivative positions are primarily valued using standard calculations/models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters. Industry standard data providers are Solventum’s primary source for forward and spot rate information for interest rates and currency rates, with resulting valuations periodically validated through third-party or counterparty quotes and a net present value stream of cash flows model. Credit Risk and Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities of Derivative Instruments: The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties in forward contracts. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk through the use of credit approvals and credit limits, and by selecting major international banks and financial institutions as counterparties. Solventum enters into master netting arrangements with counterparties, which may allow each counterparty to net settle amounts owed between a Solventum entity and the counterparty as a result of multiple, separate derivative transactions. The Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties. Solventum has elected to present the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet on a gross basis even when derivative transactions are subject to master netting arrangements and may otherwise qualify for net presentation. Solventum determined that the impact of the amount of eligible offsetting derivative assets and liabilities was not material if it had elected to offset the asset and liability balances of derivative instruments, netted in accordance with various criteria in the event of default or termination as stipulated by the terms of netting arrangements with each of the counterparties. For each counterparty, if netted, the Company would offset the asset and liability balances of all derivatives at the end of the reporting period based on the Solventum entity that is a party to the transactions. Derivatives not subject to master netting agreements are not eligible for net presentation. For the periods presented, Solventum has not received cash collateral from derivative counterparties.

Commitment and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings Solventum is involved in numerous claims and lawsuits, principally in the United States, and regulatory proceedings worldwide. These claims, lawsuits and proceedings relate to matters including, but not limited to, product liability (involving products that the Company now or formerly manufactured and sold, including products made by the Health Care Business Group at 3M), intellectual property, commercial, antitrust, federal healthcare program related laws and regulations, such as the False Claims Act and anti-kickback laws in the United States and other jurisdictions. Unless otherwise stated, Solventum is vigorously defending all such litigation and proceedings. From time to time, Solventum also receives subpoenas, investigative demands or requests for information from various government agencies in the United States and foreign countries. Solventum generally responds in a cooperative, thorough and timely manner. These responses sometimes require time and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred by the Company. Such requests can also lead to the assertion of claims or the commencement of administrative, civil, or criminal legal proceedings against Solventum and others, as well as to settlements. The outcomes of legal proceedings and regulatory matters are often difficult to predict. Any determination that the Company’s operations or activities are not, or were not, in compliance with applicable laws or regulations could result in the imposition of fines, civil or criminal penalties, and equitable remedies, including disgorgement, suspension or debarment or injunctive relief. Process for Disclosure and Recording of Liabilities Related to Legal Proceedings Many lawsuits and claims involve highly complex issues relating to causation, scientific evidence, and alleged actual damages, all of which are otherwise subject to substantial uncertainties. Assessments of lawsuits and claims can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The categories of legal proceedings in which the Company is involved may include multiple lawsuits and claims, may be spread across multiple jurisdictions and courts that may handle the lawsuits and claims differently, may involve numerous and different types of plaintiffs, raising claims and legal theories based on specific allegations that may not apply to other matters, and may seek substantial compensatory and, in some cases, punitive, damages. These and other factors contribute to the complexity of these lawsuits and claims and make it difficult for the Company to predict outcomes and make reasonable estimates of any resulting losses. The Company's ability to predict outcomes and make reasonable estimates of potential losses is further influenced by the fact that a resolution of one or more matters within a category of legal proceedings may impact the resolution of other matters in that category in terms of timing, amount of liability, or both. When making determinations about recording liabilities related to legal proceedings, the Company complies with the requirements of ASC 450, Contingencies, and related guidance, and records liabilities in those instances where it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss and when the loss is probable. Where the reasonable estimate of the probable loss is a range, the Company records as an accrual in its financial statements the most likely estimate of the loss, or the low end of the range if there is no one best estimate. The Company either discloses the amount of a possible loss or range of loss in excess of established accruals if estimable, or states that such an estimate cannot be made. The Company discloses significant legal proceedings even where liability is not probable or the amount of the liability is not estimable, or both, if the Company believes there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred. Based on experience and developments, the Company reexamines its estimates of probable liabilities and associated expenses and receivables each period, and whether a loss previously determined to not be reasonably estimable and/or not probable is now able to be reasonably estimated or has become probable. Where appropriate, the Company makes additions to or adjustments of its reasonably estimated losses and/or accruals. As a result, the current accruals and/or estimates of loss and the estimates of the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the legal proceedings and claims pending against the Company will likely change over time. During the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $5 million and $2 million in legal charges, respectively, and during the first six months of 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $5 million and $1 million in legal charges, respectively. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accrued litigation charges were $28 million and $23 million, respectively. Because litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or developments could occur, the Company may ultimately incur charges substantially in excess of presently recorded liabilities, including with respect to matters for which no accruals are currently recorded because losses are not currently probable and reasonably estimable. Many of the matters described herein are at varying stages, seek an indeterminate amount of damages or seek damages in amounts that the Company believes are not indicative of the ultimate losses that may be incurred. It is not uncommon for claims to be resolved over many years. As a matter progresses, the Company may receive information, through plaintiff demands, through discovery, in the form of reports of purported experts, or in the context of settlement or mediation discussions that purport to quantify an amount of alleged damages, but with which the Company may not agree. Such information may or may not lead the Company to determine that it is able to make a reasonable estimate as to a probable loss or range of loss in connection with a matter. However, even when a loss or range of loss is not probable and reasonably estimable, developments in, or the ultimate resolution of, a matter could be material to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, future adverse rulings or developments, or settlements in, one or more matters could result in future changes to determinations of probable and reasonably estimable losses in other matters. Process for Disclosure and Recording of Insurance Receivables Related to Legal Proceedings The Company estimates insurance receivables based on an analysis of the terms of its numerous policies, including their exclusions, pertinent case law interpreting comparable policies, its experience with similar claims, and assessment of the nature of the claim and remaining coverage, and records an amount it has concluded is recognizable and expects to receive in light of the loss recovery and/or gain contingency models under ASC 450, ASC 610-30, and related guidance. For those insured legal proceedings for which the Company has recorded an accrued liability in its financial statements, the Company also records receivables for the amount of insurance that it concludes as recognizable from the Company’s insurance program. For those insured matters for which the Company has not recorded an accrued liability because the liability is not probable or the amount of the liability is not estimable, or both, but for which the Company has incurred an expense in defending itself, the Company records receivables for the amount of insurance that it concludes as recognizable for the expense incurred. Product Liability Litigation The following sections first describe the significant legal proceedings in which the Company is involved, and then describe the liabilities, if any, the Company has accrued relating to its significant legal proceedings. 3M is a named defendant in over 7,200 lawsuits in the United States and one Canadian putative class action with a single named plaintiff, alleging that they underwent various joint arthroplasty, cardiovascular, and other surgeries and later developed surgical site infections due to the use of the Bair Hugger patient warming system. Under the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2024, by and between Solventum and 3M (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement"), Solventum has agreed to indemnify 3M for uninsured liabilities related to the Bair Hugger patient warming system, to manage the litigation, and pay for legal expenses. The plaintiffs seek damages and other relief based on theories of strict liability, negligence, breach of express and implied warranties, failure to warn, design and manufacturing defect, fraudulent and/or negligent misrepresentation/concealment, unjust enrichment, and violations of various state consumer fraud, deceptive or unlawful trade practices and/or false advertising acts. The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ( " JPML " ) consolidated all cases pending in federal courts to the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota to be managed in a multi-district litigation ( " MDL " ) proceeding. In July 2019, the court excluded several of the plaintiffs’ causation experts, and granted summary judgment for 3M in all cases pending at that time in the MDL. Plaintiffs appealed that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Plaintiffs also appealed a 2018 jury verdict in favor of 3M in the first bellwether trial in the MDL and appealed the dismissal of another bellwether case. A panel of the appellate court in August 2021 reversed the district court’s exclusion of the plaintiffs’ causation experts and the grant of summary judgment for 3M. 3M sought further appellate en banc review by the full Eighth Circuit court. In November 2021, the Eighth Circuit court denied 3M’s petition for rehearing en banc. In May 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court declined 3M's February 2022 request to review the Eighth Circuit court's decision. Separately, in August 2021, the Eighth Circuit court affirmed the 2018 jury verdict in 3M’s favor in the only bellwether trial in the MDL. In February 2022, the MDL court ordered the parties to engage in any mediation sessions that a court-appointed mediator deems appropriate. Mediation sessions took place in May and August 2022 without success in resolving the litigation. The MDL court in 2023 assigned a new mediator to facilitate discussions of the litigation and possible resolution. The MDL court denied plaintiffs’ April 2023 motion to disqualify the judge and magistrate judge overseeing the MDL. The parties, working with the new mediator, agreed on a bellwether process, selecting 34 cases. The MDL court transferred the non-Minnesota bellwether cases during April 2024. A case transferred to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has been set for trial on December 16, 2024. Eleven of the bellwether cases have now been voluntarily dismissed by plaintiffs. In addition to the federal MDL cases, there are eight state court cases relating to the Bair Hugger patient warming systems. Two are pending in Missouri state court and combine Bair Hugger product liability claims with medical malpractice claims. One of the Missouri cases was tried in 2022; the jury returned a verdict in 3M’s favor on all the claims. The trial court denied plaintiff’s motion for a new trial, and the verdict was affirmed on appeal in June 2024. The plaintiff has filed a request for further review by the Missouri Supreme Court. The other Missouri case is scheduled for trial in September 2024. There is one case in Etowah County, Alabama that combines Bair Hugger product liability claims with medical malpractice claims. It is set for trial in November 2024. A Texas case that 3M removed to federal court was remanded to state court in January 2024, a Pennsylvania case was remanded to state court in April 2024, and two Montana cases were remanded to state court in June 2024. Finally, a putative class action has been filed in Ramsey County, Minnesota, seeking economic damages for the use of the Bair Hugger system in knee and hip replacement surgeries involving medically obese people in Minnesota from May 2017 to the present. Discovery is underway and the case is scheduled to be ready for trial in the fourth quarter of 2025. 3M had been named a defendant in 61 cases in Minnesota state court. In January 2018, the Minnesota state court excluded plaintiffs’ experts and granted 3M’s motion for summary judgment on general causation. The Minnesota Court of Appeals affirmed the state court orders in their entirety and the Minnesota Supreme Court denied plaintiffs’ petition for review and entered the final dismissal in 2019, effectively ending the Minnesota state court cases. In June 2016, 3M was served with a putative class action filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for all Canadian residents who underwent various joint arthroplasty, cardiovascular, and other surgeries and later developed surgical site infections that the representative plaintiff claims were due to the use of the Bair Hugger patient warming system. The representative plaintiff seeks relief (including punitive damages) under Canadian law based on theories similar to those asserted in the MDL. For product liability litigation matters described in this section for which a liability has been recorded, the amount recorded is included in the disclosed amounts in the preceding " Process for Disclosure and Recording of Liabilities Related to Legal Proceedings" section and are not material to the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. In addition, the Company is not able to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss in excess of the recorded liability at this time. Federal False Claims Act/Qui Tam Litigation In October 2019, 3M acquired Acelity, Inc. and its KCI subsidiaries, including Kinetic Concepts, Inc. and KCI USA, Inc. As previously disclosed in the SEC filings by the KCI entities, in 2009, Kinetic Concepts, Inc. received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General. In 2011, following the completion of the government’s review and its decision declining to intervene in two qui tam actions described further below, the qui tam relator-plaintiffs’ pleadings were unsealed. The government inquiry followed two qui tam actions filed in 2008 by two former employees against Kinetic Concepts, Inc. and KCI USA, Inc. (collectively, the " KCI Defendants " ) under seal in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. One qui tam action (the Godecke case) was dismissed in January 2022. In the remaining action (the Hartpence case), the complaint contains allegations that the KCI Defendants violated the federal False Claims Act by submitting false or fraudulent claims to federal healthcare programs by billing for 3M V.A.C. Therapy in a manner that was not consistent with the Local Coverage Determinations issued by the Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors and seeks monetary damages. In June 2019, the district court entered summary judgment in the KCI Defendants’ favor on all of the relator-plaintiff’s claims. The relator-plaintiff then filed an appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Oral argument in the Hartpence case was held in July 2020. The appellate court issued an opinion in August 2022 reversing the decision of the district court and remanding the case for further proceedings. The district court held a status conference in January 2023 during which no case deadlines were set; the litigation remains in a pre-trial stage. The KCI Defendants filed a renewed motion for summary judgment in March 2023. In July 2023, the parties filed a joint status report notifying the court of the parties’ agreement to mediate the matter in November 2023. As a result of a mediation held in November 2023, the relator-plaintiff and KCI reached an agreement in principle to settle the case and resolve all the remaining claims in this action, including the dismissal of the relator-plaintiff’s complaint with prejudice, subject to the agreement of the government and the parties’ negotiation and agreement of all remaining terms of the settlement. The KCI Defendants and relator-plaintiff have jointly requested that the court continue to hold in abeyance any hearing on the KCI Defendants’ pending Renewed Motion for Summary Judgment and any further proceedings in this case, to allow the parties to confer with counsel for the government and negotiate the remaining terms of the settlement agreement. The KCI Defendants and the relator-plaintiff submitted an updated status report to the court during January 2024 and another status report in July 2024. Under the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Solventum has agreed to indemnify 3M for liabilities related to this matter, to manage the litigation, and pay for related legal expenses. For the matters described in this section for which a liability has been recorded, the amount recorded is included in the disclosed amounts in the preceding " Process for Disclosure and Recording of Liabilities Related to Legal Proceedings" section and are not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. The Company is not able to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss in excess of the recorded liability at this time. Warranties/Guarantees The Company has not issued any material financial guarantees of loans with third parties or other guarantee arrangements. Furthermore, the Company does not disclose information on its product warranties, as management considers the balance immaterial to its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Earnings Per Share Prior to the completion of the Spin-Off from 3M, the Company had no common shares issued and outstanding. On April 1, 2024, there were 172,709,505 shares of Solventum common stock issued and outstanding as part of the Distribution. This share amount is utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented prior to the Spin-Off.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation Prior to the Spin-Off, certain eligible employees were awarded incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance share units (PSUs) and other stock awards under 3M's Amended and Restated 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (3M Company Plan). Stock-based compensation granted pursuant to the 3M Company Plan was based on 3M’s common stock. In March 2024, 3M's Board of Directors approved the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Solventum 2024 Plan) providing for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, PSUs, and other stock or cash-based awards to eligible employees and non-employee directors. Stock-based compensation granted pursuant to the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan is based on Solventum's stock. The maximum shares that can be issued under the Solventum 2024 Plan is 13,000,000 shares. In connection with the Spin-Off, all awards granted under the 3M Company Plan for Solventum employees were converted into equivalent awards under the Solventum 2024 Plan subsequent to the Spin-Off in April 2024. This stock award modification at Spin-Off resulted in expense of $19 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024. Stock-Based Compensation Expense Amounts recognized in the financial statements with respect to stock-based compensation programs, which include stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, are provided in the following table.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Parties	Related Parties Related Party Transactions Prior to Spin-Off Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company participated in centralized 3M treasury programs. This arrangement was not reflective of the manner in which the Company would have financed its operations had it been a standalone business separate from 3M during the periods presented prior to April 1, 2024. All adjustments relating to certain transactions among the Company and 3M, which include the transfer of the balance of cash to and from 3M, transfer of the balance of cash held in centralized cash management arrangements to and from 3M, and pushdown of all costs of doing business that were paid on behalf of the Company by 3M, are excluded from the asset and liability balances in the condensed combined balance sheets and have instead been reported within Net parent investment as a component of equity . Corporate Allocations The condensed combined statements of income for periods prior to April 1, 2024 include general corporate expenses of 3M for services provided by 3M for certain corporate and shared service functions that were provided on a centralized basis, including the use of shared assets. Expenses had been included on a direct usage basis where costs were specifically identifiable to Solventum or allocated based on the Company’s pro rata proportion of 3M's revenue. Management believes that the expense allocations were determined on a basis that was a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided for or the benefit received by the Company during each of the periods presented prior to April 1, 2024. The amounts that would have been incurred on a standalone basis could materially differ from the amounts allocated. Management does not believe, however, that it is practicable to estimate what these expenses would have been had the Company operated as an independent entity, including any expenses associated with obtaining any of these services from unaffiliated entities. There was no expense allocation activity after the April 1, 2024 Spin-Off date. 3M expense allocations were recorded in the condensed combined statements of income within the following captions: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, (Millions) 2023 2024 2023 Costs of product $ 20 $ 15 $ 35 Costs of software and rentals — — — Selling, general and administrative 179 177 365 Research and development 27 28 55 Total $ 226 $ 220 $ 455 Related Party Transactions After Spin-Off Separation and Distribution Agreement and Other Related Party Transactions with 3M In connection with the Spin-Off on April 1, 2024, the Company entered into or adopted several agreements that provide a framework for Solventum's relationship with 3M after the separation and distribution. These include, but are not limited to, the following which had activity during the second quarter of 2024: • Separation and Distribution Agreement - The separation and distribution agreement contains key provisions related to the separation of Solventum from 3M, including the transfer of assets and assumptions of liabilities. In connection with this agreement, certain assets and liabilities included in the Company's condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 were retained by 3M and certain assets and liabilities not included in the Company's condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 were transferred to Solventum as of the date of separation. Separation related adjustments resulted in a decrease to net assets and total equity of $1.1 billion and are reflected in the "Net transfers to 3M" line item of the condensed consolidated and combined statements of changes in equity. The impact on net assets primarily represent liabilities payable to 3M for services received prior to Spin-Off as well as cash and accounts receivable retained by 3M. • Transition Agreements - Transition services agreements include services that 3M will provide to Solventum and its affiliates, and Solventum and its affiliates will provide to 3M and its affiliates, on an interim, transitional basis. 1) Transition services agreement. Includes various services, including, but not limited to, information technology support and access, logistics services, certain finance support functions, compliance reporting, human resources and toxicology laboratory support services. The transition services agreement has an overall term of two years. 2) Transition distribution services agreement. Provides that 3M and its affiliates will retain inventories of and purchase certain Solventum products from Solventum and its subsidiaries and distribute those products to Solventum's customers. The transition distribution services agreement has an overall term of two years, with shorter terms for individual countries. 3) Transition contract manufacturing agreement. Solventum and 3M will manufacture certain products of the other party at specified manufacturing sites and will supply such products to the other party, in each case on a transitional basis to allow for the orderly exit of production at the supplier site and relocation. The transition contract manufacturing agreement has an overall term of three years, with the terms of individual services ranging from eighteen For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Solventum recognized $88 million in expense related to transition agreements between the Company and 3M and its affiliates. • Tax Matters Agreement - The agreement governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes (including responsibility for taxes, entitlement to refunds, allocation of tax attributes, preparation of tax returns, control of tax contests and other tax matters). In addition, the tax matters agreement imposes certain restrictions on Solventum and its subsidiaries (including restrictions on share issuances, business combinations, sales of assets and similar transactions) that are designed to preserve the tax-free status of the distribution and certain related transactions. • Employee Matters Agreement - The agreement allocates liabilities and responsibilities relating to employment matters, employee compensation and benefits plans and programs, and other related matters. The employee matters agreement provides that, unless otherwise specified, each party will be responsible for liabilities associated with current and former employees of such party and its subsidiaries. For the U.S. qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans, Solventum established plans that mirror the corresponding 3M plans and assumed all obligations under 3M’s plans for the accrued benefits of current and former Solventum employees. The employee matters agreement also governs the terms of equity-based awards granted by 3M prior to separation. • Real Estate License Agreements - Solventum or one of its affiliates, as licensee, has entered into certain real estate license agreements with 3M or one of its affiliates, as licensor, pursuant to which Solventum will be able to continue to use certain premises owned or leased by 3M for a limited period of time following the distribution date. Pursuant to the real estate license agreements, 3M will provide customary building services to the licensee consistent with the property’s use prior to the separation, including, without limitation, basic utilities, janitorial and trash removal services, maintenance services and employee amenities. The terms of the real estate license agreements are generally two years or less. • Master Supply Agreements - 3M and Solventum entered into master supply agreements in connection with the separation under which each agrees to supply the other with certain products. The term of the master supply agreements will initially be three years, which will extend automatically, with the length of the term extension subject to the parties' ability to identify a third-party supplier, and the ability for such third-party supplier to provide validated production samples. Revenue recognized from sales to 3M and related cost of sales were $10 million and $8 million, respectively, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Related Party Transactions The Company had the following transactions with 3M and its affiliates, primarily in connection with the Transition Services Agreement, Transition Distribution Services Agreement, Transition Contract Manufacturing Agreements and Master Supply Agreements, reported on the Company's condensed consolidated and combined financial statements: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, (Amounts in millions) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net sales of product $ 10 $ — $ 10 $ — Cost of product 30 — 30 — Selling, general and administrative expenses 72 — 72 — Research and development expenses 3 — 3 — Current amounts due from and due to 3M under various agreements described above are recognized within the "Due from related parties" and "Due to related parties", as applicable, in the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements. Non-current amounts due to 3M were approximately $60 million at June 30, 2024 and were recognized in "Other liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheet. Net Parent Investment Net transfers to 3M are included within Net parent investment in the condensed consolidated and combined statements of changes in equity and within financing activities in the condensed combined statements of cash flows and represent the net effect of transactions between the Company and 3M. The reconciliation of net transfers to 3M between the condensed consolidated and combined changes in equity and the condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash flows are as follows: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, (Millions) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net transfers to 3M on the condensed consolidated and combined changes in equity $ (1,134) $ (284) $ (8,571) $ (717) Stock compensation expense — (8) (4) (26) Multiemployer pension expense — (9) (5) (18) Net balances transferred from 3M $ 738 $ — $ 333 $ — Net transfers to 3M on the condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash flows $ (396) $ (301) $ (8,247) $ (761)

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segments	Business Segments Operating segments include components of an enterprise where separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ( " CODM " ) for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company's operating activities are managed through four operating segments: MedSurg, Dental Solutions, Health Information Systems, and Purification and Filtration. There have been no changes to the composition of the segments or to financial information reported within each of the business segments. These segments have been identified based on the nature of the products sold and how the Company manages its operations. Transactions among reportable segments are recorded at cost. No operating segments have been aggregated to form reportable segments. Corporate and Unallocated includes amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring and related charges, benefits or costs related to capitalized manufacturing variances, Spin-Off and separation related costs and other net costs that the Company chose not to allocate directly to its business segments. Spin-Off and separation related costs include any costs incurred as part of our separation from 3M and costs to setup operations as a standalone Company, including system implementations, manufacturing relocation, legal entity separation, certain equity awards granted as part of the Spin-Off, profit mark-ups on transition service arrangements with 3M and other one-time costs. Corporate and Unallocated also includes sales and cost of sales related to products supplied to 3M and other supply agreements related to legacy 3M business and assumed by the Company at Spin-Off. Because Corporate and Unallocated includes a variety of miscellaneous items, it is subject to fluctuation on a quarterly and annual basis. Business segment operating income is reconciled to total operating income and pre-tax income below. Consistent accounting policies have been applied by all segments for all reporting periods. A description of our reportable segments has been provided in Note 1 to the audited combined financial statements within the Company's Information Statement dated March 11, 2024.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ( " GAAP " ) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and present the historical results of operations, and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the financial position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The interim condensed consolidated and combined financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated and combined financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These adjustments consist of normal, recurring items. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Effective April 1, 2024, the Company's financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, as the Spin-Off from 3M was completed on such date. The unaudited financial statements for all periods following the Spin-Off are referred to as the "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements." Prior to April 1, 2024, Solventum was a carve-out business of 3M Company . The Company's financial statements prior to April 1, 2024 were prepared on a combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of 3M, including the historical cost basis of assets and liabilities comprising the Company, as well as the historical revenues, direct costs, and allocations of indirect costs attributable to the operations of the Company, using the historical accounting policies applied by 3M. The historical financial statements of the Company prior to April 1, 2024, are referred to as the "Condensed Combined Financial Statements". All intercompany transactions and balances within Solventum have been eliminated. These unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include certain transactions with 3M, which are disclosed as related party transactions in Note 14 "Related Parties". The unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements and related footnotes as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the " SEC " ) on March 11, 2024, which became effective on March 13, 2024 (the " Information Statement " ).
