Paramedic Laurel Badge Patch — Order This Caduceus Maltese Cross Design
Design S1059A at a glance
A badge-shaped outline finished in a gold rope border, carrying a maltese cross with a caduceus and laurel. Green leads the palette, backed by gold and navy, and three lettering lines hold the service name, a descriptor line and an established year. It is a formal, ceremonial-leaning layout that still works as a daily shoulder patch.

About this paramedic caduceus and laurel badge design
The maltese cross is borrowed from the fire service, the caduceus from medicine and the laurel from honor — together they signal a paramedic service with fire-rescue roots. Green is the unusual choice here, and it gives the patch a distinct identity next to the navy and red that dominate EMS sleeves. The rope border adds a dress-uniform finish.
Adjust it to fit your crews: put your service name and descriptor in the lettering lines, trade green for navy or maroon, or swap the rope edge for a standard merrowed border. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Paramedic laurel badge patch questions
Can we replace the maltese cross with a star of life?
Yes. We redraw the center around a star of life and keep the caduceus and laurel, at no art charge. Your proof shows the change before production.
What is a rope border?
A raised, twisted-thread edge stitched around the outline. It gives the badge a formal finish and suits shapes with curves and points like this one.
Can the green field change to navy?
Yes. Every thread color is adjustable. Preview navy, maroon or black fields in the markup tool before requesting your quote.
Can we order a dress version and a duty version together?
Yes. Quote both in one order — for example metallic gold thread for dress and standard gold for duty — and the art stays matched.
How do I mark changes on the design?
Use the quote form's markup tool to circle the cross, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. We receive the marked badge with your request.
