Paramedic Unit Shield Patch — Order This Arched Caduceus Design
Design S1067A at a glance
An arched shield with an orange edge, centered on a caduceus set on a star of life. Navy, blue, red and gold fill the field, and five lettering elements carry the service name, a two-letter monogram, a paramedic unit line, an established year and a motto. The orange border is the signature detail — it frames a classic emblem in a color few EMS patches use.

About this paramedic unit arched caduceus shield
The caduceus on a star of life is EMS shorthand, so this design earns its individuality elsewhere: an arched shield outline, a monogram panel and an orange border. Orange signals urgency and reads well on a scene, while navy and blue keep the shield grounded in standard EMS uniform colors. Red and gold accents finish it.
Customize it for your unit: set your initials in the monogram, name your service and unit in the lettering, or swap orange for gold if you want a softer frame. 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 unit shield patch questions
Can the monogram show our service's initials?
Yes. The monogram restitches to any two or three letters, and the proof shows it sized to the shield before production.
Why an orange border?
It frames the shield in a color that stands out on scene. If your uniform standard calls for gold, red or navy, switch it in the markup tool.
Can each medic unit have its own version?
Yes. Keep the art and change the unit line for each run; quoting several units together keeps colors matched.
What sizes do medic units usually order?
A 4" shoulder patch and a 3" chest patch. Both come from the same approved proof.
How do I request edits?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the monogram, pin notes on the lettering and change the border color. That marked shield goes in with your quote.
Comparing other EMS designs or builds?
If the arched shield isn't the cut your unit wants, the EMS layouts beside this orange-bordered caduceus arched shield cover maltese crosses, hexagons and rounds for every crew.
