3M Health Care

3M reveals new name of planned, independent healthcare company: Solventum.

Solventum originates from two words: “solving” and “momentum.” “Solving” captures the company’s dedication to finding breakthrough solutions. “Momentum” symbolizes swifter, nimbler innovation. The new logo takes inspiration from the future company’s drive to never stop solving and transforms the “S” from the name into an expressive symbol of limitlessness. It conveys the responsive, imaginative and caring approach the company will take in solving for patients and healthcare professionals.


Solventum will embody its mission of enabling better, smarter, safer healthcare to improve lives. With a dedicated focus on solving big healthcare challenges, the independent healthcare company will push the boundaries of health, material and data science to improve outcomes across the healthcare ecosystem. Its diverse product portfolio spans across the healthcare industry from medical solutions and oral care to health information systems and separation and purification sciences.


For more than 70 years, 3M’s Health Care Business has been trusted by countless customers to solve their critical needs with quality and high-performing solutions rooted in science. 3M intends to carry this legacy forward with its planned spin-off of the Health Care Business in the first half of 2024.
