Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment and Geographic Data SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA
We segregate our operations into two reportable business
segments: (i) MedSurg and Neurotechnology and (ii)
Orthopaedics which aligns to our internal reporting structure and
how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) assesses
performance and allocates resources. The CODM is the Chief
Executive Officer. The CODM makes decisions on resource
allocation, assesses performance of the business, and monitors
budget versus actual results using segment operating income.
Information about total assets by segment is not disclosed
because such information is not regularly provided to, or used by,
our CODM.
The Corporate and Other category shown in the table below
includes corporate and administration, corporate initiatives and
share-based compensation, which includes compensation related
to employee stock options, restricted stock units and
performance stock unit grants and director stock options and
restricted stock unit grants.

We measure the financial results of our reportable segments
using an internal performance measure that excludes acquisition
and integration-related charges, structural optimization and other
special charges, goodwill and other impairments, reserves for
certain product recall matters and reserves for certain legal and
regulatory matters. Identifiable assets are those assets used
exclusively in the operations of each business segment or
allocated when used jointly. Corporate assets are principally
property, plant and equipment and noncurrent assets.
The countries in which we have local revenue generating
operations have been combined into the following geographic
areas: the United States; Europe, Middle East, Africa; Asia
Pacific; and other foreign countries, which include Canada and
countries in the Latin American region. Net sales are reported
based on the geographic area of the Stryker location where the
sales to the customer originated.
