Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates	Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Owens & Minor, Inc. and the subsidiaries it controls (we, us, or our) and contain all adjustments (which are comprised only of normal recurring accruals and use of estimates) necessary to conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
	Reclassifications
	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	Fair Value
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, financing receivables, accounts payable and financing payables included in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market (Level 1) or, if quoted market prices or dealer quotes are not available, on the borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms, credit ratings and average remaining maturities (Level 2). We determine the fair value of our derivatives based on quoted market prices. See Note 8 for the fair value of long-term debt and Note 9 for the fair value of derivatives.

Acquisitions

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions
	On October 1, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Medical Action Industries Inc., (Medical Action), a leading producer of surgical kits and procedure trays, which will enable an expansion of our capabilities in the assembly of kits, packs and trays for the healthcare market.
	On November 1, 2014, we acquired ArcRoyal, a privately held surgical kitting company based in Ireland (ArcRoyal). The transaction expanded our capabilities in the assembly of kits, packs and trays in the European healthcare market.
	The combined consideration for these two acquisitions was $261.6 million, net of cash acquired, and including debt assumed of $13.4 million (capitalized lease obligations).
	The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon our preliminary estimate of their fair values at the date of acquisition, with certain exceptions permitted under GAAP. The combined purchase price exceeded the preliminary estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets by $150.6 million, which was allocated to goodwill. The following table presents, in the aggregate, the preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized as of the acquisition date. Adjustments relate to revised estimates pending completion of our valuation. The allocation of purchase price to assets and liabilities acquired is not yet complete.
		Preliminary Fair		Differences Between Prior and Current Period Preliminary Fair Value Estimate			Preliminary Fair
		Value Estimated as of					Value Currently Estimated as of
		Acquisition Date					Acquisition Date
	Assets acquired:
	Current assets	$	90,608	$	98		$	90,706
	Property and equipment	34,048		(448		)	33,600
	Goodwill	150,492		79			150,571

	Total assets	352,771		(271		)	352,500
	Liabilities assumed:

	Noncurrent liabilities	26,426		—			26,426
	Total liabilities	91,162		(271		)	90,891
	Fair value of net assets acquired, net of cash	$	261,609	$	—		$	261,609
	We are amortizing the fair value of acquired intangible assets, primarily customer relationships, over their remaining weighted average useful lives of 14 years.
	Goodwill of $150.6 million consists largely of expected opportunities to expand our kitting capabilities. We assigned goodwill of $21.9 million to our International segment and $128.7 million to our Domestic segment. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
	Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because the effects on revenue and net income were not material to our historic consolidated financial statements.
	Acquisition-related expenses in the current quarter consisted primarily of transition costs incurred to integrate the acquired operations (including certain severance and contractual payments to former management). We recognized pre-tax acquisition-related expenses of $2.6 million in 2015 related to these activities.
	Acquisition-related expenses of $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 consisted primarily of costs to resolve certain contingencies with the former Movianto owner as well as remaining costs to transition Movianto’s information technology and administrative functions.

	We periodically incur exit and realignment and other charges associated with optimizing our operations which include the closure and consolidation of certain distribution and logistics centers, administrative offices and warehouses in the United States and Europe. These charges also include costs associated with our strategic organizational realignment which include management changes, certain professional fees, and costs to streamline administrative functions and processes.

	In addition to the exit and realignment accruals in the preceding table, we also incurred $6.9 million of costs that were expensed as incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, including $3.0 million in accelerated amortization of an information system that is being replaced, $1.8 million in facility costs, $1.3 million in labor costs, $0.3 million in information systems costs and $0.5 million in other costs.
	We incurred $1.3 million in charges that were expensed as incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 including $0.5 million in relocation costs, $0.5 million in property related costs, and $0.3 million in labor and other costs.
	We expect additional exit and realignment charges of approximately $7.0 million over the remainder of 2015 for activities initiated through March 31, 2015.

	We have $275 million of 3.875% senior notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) and $275 million of 4.375% senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”), with interest payable semi-annually. The 2021 Notes were sold at 99.5% of the principal amount with an effective yield of 3.951%. The 2024 Notes were sold at 99.6% of the principal with an effective yield of 4.422%. We have the option to redeem the 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes in part or in whole prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount or the present value of the remaining scheduled payments discounted at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of the 2021 Notes was $287.4 million and $275.1 million and the estimated fair value of the 2024 Notes was $291.4 million and $283.9 million, respectively.
	We have a Credit Agreement with a $450 million borrowing capacity which extends through September 2019. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we have the ability to request two one-year extensions and to request an increase in aggregate commitments by up to $200 million. The interest rate on the Amended Credit Agreement, which is subject to adjustment quarterly, is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, plus an adjustment based on the better of our debt ratings or leverage ratio (Credit Spread) as defined by the Amended Credit Agreement. We are charged a commitment fee of between 12.5 and 25.0 basis points on the unused portion of the facility. The terms of the Amended Credit Agreement limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and require us to maintain ratios for leverage and interest coverage, including on a pro forma basis in the event of an acquisition. Based on our leverage ratio at March 31, 2015, the interest rate under the credit facility is LIBOR plus 1.375%.
	At March 31, 2015, we had no borrowings and letters of credit of approximately $5.0 million outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, leaving $445 million available for borrowing. We also have a $1.2 million letter of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, which supports our facilities leased in Europe.
	The Amended Credit Agreement and senior notes contain cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of payments due in the event of default of either agreement. We believe we were in compliance with our debt covenants at March 31, 2015.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	Derivatives
	When deemed appropriate, we use derivatives, primarily forward contracts, as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of foreign currency exchange risk. The total notional values of our foreign currency derivatives was $7.0 million at March 31, 2015 and $10.0 million as of December 31, 2014. We do not currently have any derivatives designated as hedging instruments and all gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are immediately recognized into earnings. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the fair value of our foreign currency contracts included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet was $1.3 million and $0.7 million. The impact from changes in the fair value of these foreign currency derivatives included in other operating income, net was $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2015. We did not hold foreign currency contracts in the first quarter of 2014. We consider the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

	The effective tax rate was 44.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to 40.8% in the same quarter of 2014. The change in rate is due to the impact of foreign taxes and certain acquisition-related charges which are not deductible for tax purposes. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $6.9 million at March 31, 2015 and $6.7 million at December 31, 2014. Included in the liability at March 31, 2015 were $4.3 million of tax positions for which ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.

Equity [Abstract]
Shareholders' Equity	Shareholders’ Equity
	Our Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock to be executed at the discretion of management over a three-year period, expiring in February 2017. The program is intended, in part, to offset shares issued in conjunction with our stock incentive plans and return capital to shareholders. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We did not purchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, we have approximately $90.1 million remaining under the repurchase program. We have elected to allocate any excess of share repurchase price over par value to retained earnings.

	Prior to exiting the direct-to-consumer business in January 2009, we received reimbursements from Medicare, Medicaid, and private healthcare insurers for certain customer billings. We are subject to audits of these reimbursements for up to seven years from the date of the service.
	In the first quarter of 2015, we settled our dispute and terminated the service contract with a customer in the United Kingdom. As part of the settlement, we entered into a transition agreement for the transfer of services back to this customer and paid approximately $3.9 million that was fully accrued at December 31, 2014. Substantially all outstanding accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014 related to this contract have been received.

Condensed Consolidating Financial Information	Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
	The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information for: Owens & Minor, Inc. (O&M); the guarantors of Owens & Minor, Inc.’s 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes, on a combined basis; and the non-guarantor subsidiaries of the 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes, on a combined basis. The guarantor subsidiaries are 100% owned by Owens & Minor, Inc. Separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because the guarantees by our guarantor subsidiaries are full and unconditional, as well as joint and several, and we believe the condensed consolidating financial information is more meaningful in understanding the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the guarantor subsidiaries.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Owens & Minor, Inc. and the subsidiaries it controls (we, us, or our) and contain all adjustments (which are comprised only of normal recurring accruals and use of estimates) necessary to conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
Reclassification and Correction	Reclassifications
	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Fair Value	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, financing receivables, accounts payable and financing payables included in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market (Level 1) or, if quoted market prices or dealer quotes are not available, on the borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms, credit ratings and average remaining maturities (Level 2). We determine the fair value of our derivatives based on quoted market prices. See Note 8 for the fair value of long-term debt and Note 9 for the fair value of derivatives.
Share Repurchases	We have elected to allocate any excess of share repurchase price over par value to retained earnings.
Segment Reporting	We evaluate the performance of our segments based on the operating earnings of the segments, excluding acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges.
