About our brand
What is the meaning of the name “Solventum”?
Solventum originates from two words: “solving” and “momentum”.
“Solving” captures our dedication to finding breakthrough solutions. We will listen closely to healthcare professionals and never stop solving for them – and the many lives they enhance around the world. “Momentum” symbolises swifter, nimbler innovation.
As we build on every achievement, large and small, our momentum propels us past barriers, towards breakthroughs.
What is the meaning behind the Solventum logo?
The logo takes inspiration from our 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 we will take in solving for patients and healthcare professionals.
