Over a year after announcing plans to spin out its healthcare business as a standalone company, 3M has finally revealed the name of that soon-to-be-formed entity.

3M宣布计划将其医疗保健业务作为一家独立公司进行分拆，一年多后，3M终于透露了这家即将成立的实体的名称。

Recent spinouts in the world of medtech have largely fallen into two categories, name-wise: those that nod to their long-standing parent companies—think Becton Dickinson’s Embecta, Zimmer Biomet’s ZimVie and the newly bicapitalized GE HealthCare—and those that go in an entirely new direction, heavy on the “V” sounds, like PerkinElmer’s Revvity and Baxter’s Vantive..

医学技术领域最近的衍生产品大体上分为两类：那些向长期存在的母公司致敬的公司，如Becton Dickinson的Embecta，Zimmer Biomet的ZimVie和新的双资本化GE HealthCare，以及那些朝着全新方向发展的公司，这些公司的“V”音很重，如PerkinElmer的Revivity和Baxter的Vantive。。

3M appears to have chosen the latter, with its upcoming healthcare company now being dubbed Solventum, according to an announcement Thursday.

据周四的一份公告称，3M似乎选择了后者，其即将成立的医疗保健公司现在被称为Solventum。

The new moniker is—according to 3M—a combination of the words “solving” and “momentum.” While the first half “captures the company’s dedication to finding breakthrough solutions,” the manufacturing giant said, the second “symbolizes swifter, nimbler innovation.”

这个新名字是根据3M而来的，它是“解决”和“动力”两个词的组合。这家制造业巨头说，虽然上半部分“体现了公司致力于寻找突破性解决方案的决心”，但第二部分“象征着更快、更灵活的创新”

Solventum’s logo, meanwhile, is a letter “S,” stylized to resemble an infinity symbol. That “expressive symbol of limitlessness,” 3M said, represents the company’s “drive to never stop solving.”

与此同时，Solventum的标志是一个字母“s”，其风格类似于无限符号。3M表示，这种“无限的表达符号”代表了公司“永不停止解决问题的动力”

“As we build this new company, Solventum will embody our mission of enabling better, smarter, safer health care to improve lives,” Bryan Hanson, current CEO of 3M’s healthcare business and who will take the Solventum helm after the spinout, said in the release.

3M医疗保健业务现任首席执行官布莱恩·汉森（BryanHanson）在新闻稿中表示：“随着我们建立这家新公司，Solventum将体现我们的使命，即实现更好、更智能、更安全的医疗保健，以改善生活。”。

“The name signifies who we are as a team—problem solvers who create innovative solutions that touch millions of lives, transform the patient experience and save time for health care professionals,” Hanson continued.

汉森继续说：“这个名字意味着我们是一个团队，是一个解决问题的人，他们创造了创新的解决方案，触动了数百万人的生命，改变了患者的体验，为医疗保健专业人员节省了时间。”。

The new branding will go live as soon as the spinout is complete. Though originally expected to be wrapped up by the end of this year, the timeline for the separation has been progressively pushed back; as of 3M’s third-quarter earnings release at the end of October, the company is now expecting to stand up Solventum sometime in the first half of 2024..

新品牌将在分拆完成后立即上线。虽然最初预计在今年年底结束，但分离的时间表已逐渐推迟；截至10月底3M发布第三季度收益时，该公司预计Solventum将在2024年上半年的某个时候成立。。

During the accompanying call with investors, 3M CEO Mike Roman said the spinout is “progressing” but added that there’s still “a lot of work to do.”

3M首席执行官迈克·罗曼（MikeRoman）在与投资者的通话中表示，剥离正在“进展”，但补充称“还有很多工作要做”

Among those necessary tasks are efforts to build out Solventum’s executive team and board of directors around Hanson and Carrie Cox, who has been tapped to chair the board, as well as the processes of completing regulatory filings for the spinout and setting up Solventum’s legal structure.

这些必要的任务包括围绕汉森（Hanson）和卡丽·考克斯（Carrie Cox）建立Solventum的执行团队和董事会，他们被任命为董事会主席，以及完成分拆监管文件和建立Solventum法律结构的过程。

“The team has given us great confidence that we’re going to continue to progress, and we’re on track for the timing that we talked about in early 2024 and see ourselves getting there successfully,” Roman said. “Much of it, as we talked about, is about getting ready for the spin of healthcare. It’s also about getting ready to stand up 3M as a standalone company with the healthcare spin being completed.

罗曼说：“团队给了我们很大的信心，我们将继续取得进展，我们正在按照2024年初讨论的时机前进，并看到我们自己成功实现目标。”。“正如我们所谈论的，其中大部分是关于为医疗保健的旋转做好准备。这也是关于随着医疗保健旋转的完成，3M公司作为一家独立的公司做好准备。

So, we’re putting focus there.”.

因此，我们将重点放在那里。”。
