Caduceus Medical Symbol - History, Meaning, and Usage in Healthcare #174133 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line illustration depicts the Caduceus, a symbol featuring a winged staff entwined by two serpents, originating from Greek mythology as the staff of Hermes. Though commonly used in modern healthcare branding-especially in the United States-it is historically distinct from the Rod of Asclepius, the true symbol of medicine. The image is clean, scalable, and ideal for educational or institutional web content.

Used on medical websites, hospital branding, health education pages, and pharmacy signage; often appears in contexts where users seek authoritative visual cues about healthcare services or historical symbolism.
