In spring 2024, 3M spun out its legacy healthcare segment as a stand-alone firm, Solventum. At that time, the firm comprised four segments. The smallest one—purification and filtration—has since been sold. Now, medsurg is the largest business, contributing roughly 64% of consolidated revenue, and includes advanced wound care and wound prevention. Dental solutions (restorative composites and orthodontia) and health information systems (mainly revenue cycle management) each contribute 18% of total revenue.
“We operate in highly competitive markets across our segments and product categories throughout the world.”
