Caduceus Medical Symbol - History, Meaning, and Modern Use in Healthcare #2213033 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white vector illustration depicts the caduceus-a staff entwined by two serpents and topped with wings-often mistakenly used as a medical emblem. While the Rod of Asclepius (single snake, no wings) is the true symbol of healing, the caduceus gained popularity in U.S. military and healthcare contexts during the 20th century. Its clean, bold design makes it ideal for logos, signage, and digital interfaces requiring instant recognition.

Used on hospital websites, medical app icons, healthcare brochures, and professional licensing materials; targets users seeking authoritative health information or verifying institutional credibility.
