Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, in the opinion of the management of Becton, Dickinson and Company (the "Company" or "BD"), include all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. However, the financial statements do not include all information and accompanying notes required for a presentation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Within the financial statements and tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes. Percentages and earnings per share amounts presented are calculated from the underlying amounts. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. BD’s Intention to Separate Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions On February 5, 2025, the Company announced its intention to separate its Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions business from the rest of the Company. The Company expects to announce more specifics on the separation plans by the end of fiscal year 2025 and intends to target completion of the transaction in fiscal year 2026. The completion of any separation transaction will be contingent upon various conditions and approvals, including approval of the Company’s board of directors, receipt of requisite regulatory clearances and compliance with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements. No assurance can be given regarding the form that a separation transaction may take or the specific terms or timing, or that a separation will in fact occur.
