Caduceus Medical Symbol - Meaning, History, and Usage in Healthcare #3410969 (License: Personal Use)

This image displays a stylized blue caduceus featuring a central staff topped with wings and two serpents symmetrically coiled around it. Though historically associated with Hermes (or Mercury) in Greek and Roman mythology, the caduceus has been widely-but inaccurately-adopted in the United States as a symbol of medicine, especially by military and commercial health organizations. The clean vector design and transparent background make it suitable for digital and print applications.

Commonly used on healthcare websites, hospital signage, medical software interfaces, and educational materials; it serves to visually communicate medical authority or services, despite its mythological roots in trade and diplomacy rather than healing.
