Caduceus Medical Symbol - Meaning, History, and Usage in Healthcare #1576787 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white illustration depicts the Caduceus, a staff entwined by two serpents and topped with wings, traditionally associated with Hermes in Greek mythology. Though often mistaken for the Rod of Asclepius (a single serpent, no wings), the Caduceus is commonly used in U.S. healthcare contexts, including military medicine and commercial branding. Its bold, high-contrast design makes it ideal for logos, signage, and digital interfaces where clarity and recognition are essential.

Used on medical websites, hospital signage, pharmaceutical branding, and educational content about medical symbols; targets users seeking symbolic meaning, historical context, or visual assets for health-related projects.
