Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
General	Note 1. General The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of The Cooper Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the requirements of Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01 for financial statements required to be filed as a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless the context requires otherwise, terms "the Company", "we", "us", and "our" are used to refer collectively to The Cooper Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and related notes are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023. The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Accounting Policies There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies 1 described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023. Estimates The preparation of Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company continually monitors and evaluates the estimates used as additional information becomes available. Adjustments will be made to these provisions periodically to reflect new facts and circumstances that may indicate that historical experience may not be indicative of current and/or future results. Stock Split On February 16, 2024, the Company effected a four-for-one stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. The par value of the common stock remains at $0.10 per share. Accordingly, an amount equal to the par value of the increased shares resulting from the stock split was reclassified from "Additional paid-in capital" to "Common stock". All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented. Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires public entities to disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that exceed a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires all disaggregated information pertaining to taxes paid, net of refunds received, for federal, state and foreign income taxes. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with the option to apply prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

Acquisitions and Joint Venture	Note 2. Acquisitions and Joint Venture All acquisitions were funded by cash generated from operations or facility borrowings. On November 1, 2023, CooperSurgical completed the acquisition of select Cook Medical assets focused primarily on the obstetrics, doppler monitoring, and gynecology surgery markets. The purchase price of the acquisition was $300.0 million, with $200.0 million paid at closing and two cash payments of $50.0 million each to be paid on November 1, 2024, and November 1, 2025. The present value of the acquisition purchase price was $291.6 million, which is included in the Company's balance sheet. Assets acquired primarily comprised of $157.9 million of technologies, $26.6 million of customer relationship related intangibles, and $107.2 million of goodwill. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Joint Venture CooperVision and Essilor International SAS (Essilor) executed a Contribution Agreement and a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreements”) in March 2022 to form a joint venture in SightGlass Vision, Inc. (SGV), which is a medical device company developing spectacle lenses for myopia management. Essilor paid CooperVision $52.1 million in exchange for a 50% interest in SGV and their proportionate share of the revenue payments. As part of the Agreements, each party contributed their interest in SGV and $10 million in cash. Prior to March 2022, CooperVision owned 100% of SGV. Further information regarding the joint venture is included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Estimates	Estimates The preparation of Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company continually monitors and evaluates the estimates used as additional information becomes available. Adjustments will be made to these provisions periodically to reflect new facts and circumstances that may indicate that historical experience may not be indicative of current and/or future results.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted	Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.
