Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Data Segment Data
The Company's organizational structure is based upon three worldwide business segments: BD Medical (“Medical”), BD Life Sciences (“Life Sciences”) and BD Interventional ("Interventional"). The Company’s segments are strategic businesses that are managed separately because each one develops, manufactures and markets distinct products and services.
Medical
Medical produces a broad array of medical technologies and devices that are used to help improve healthcare delivery in a wide range of settings. The primary customers served by Medical are hospitals and clinics; physicians’ office practices; consumers and retail pharmacies; governmental and nonprofit public health agencies; pharmaceutical companies; and healthcare workers. Medical consists of the following organizational units: Medication Delivery Solutions; Medication Management Solutions; Diabetes Care; Pharmaceutical Systems.
Life Sciences
Life Sciences provides products for the safe collection and transport of diagnostics specimens, and instruments and reagent systems to detect a broad range of infectious diseases, healthcare-associated infections and cancers. In addition, Life Sciences produces research and clinical tools that facilitate the study of cells, and the components of cells, to gain a better understanding of normal and disease processes. That information is used to aid the discovery and development of new drugs and vaccines, and to improve the diagnosis and management of diseases. The primary customers served by Life Sciences are hospitals, laboratories and clinics; blood banks; healthcare workers; public health agencies; physicians’ office practices; retail pharmacies; academic and government institutions; and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
Effective October 1, 2019, Life Sciences joined its former Preanalytical Systems and Diagnostic Systems organizational units to create a new Integrated Diagnostic Solutions organizational unit which focuses on driving growth and innovation around integrated specimen management to diagnostic solutions. Life Sciences consists of the following organizational units: Integrated Diagnostic Solutions and Biosciences.
Interventional
Interventional provides vascular, urology, oncology and surgical specialty products that are intended, with the exception of the V. MullerTM surgical and laparoscopic instrumentation products, to be used once and then discarded or are either temporarily or permanently implanted. The primary customers served by Interventional are hospitals, individual healthcare professionals, extended care facilities, alternate site facilities and patients via the segment's Homecare business. The Interventional segment consists of the following organizational units: Surgery; Peripheral Intervention; Urology and Critical Care.
Additional Segment Information
Distribution of products is primarily through independent distribution channels, and directly to end-users by BD and independent sales representatives. No customer accounted for 10% or more of revenues in any of the three years presented.
Segment disclosures are on a performance basis consistent with internal management reporting. The Company evaluates performance of its business segments and allocates resources to them primarily based upon operating income, which represents revenues reduced by product costs and operating expenses.
Financial information for the Company’s segments is detailed below. The Company has no material intersegment revenues.  As discussed in Note 10, the Company completed its acquisition of Bard on December 29, 2017. Bard's operating results were included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations beginning on January 1, 2018.
