About this special ops medic gear-cut caduceus design
The gear outline gives this patch a mechanical, operations-first look that suits tactical and special operations medics. Inside, the winged caduceus is joined by the tools of the trade — scissors, a thermometer and a book for protocols and training. Navy and silver keep it subdued enough for kit, with orange adding a single high-visibility accent.
Customize it for your team: put your agency and team names in the lettering, drop the motto for a unit number, or order a fully subdued version for plate carriers. 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.

Special ops medic patch questions
Is there a subdued version for plate carriers?
Yes. The gear embroiders in one-thread tan, OD green, wolf gray or blackout. Preview each in the markup tool and your quote references the version you choose.
Can the team line carry our unit designation?
Yes. All four lettering lines restitch — agency name, year, motto and team line — and the motto can become a unit number.
Can we change the tools around the caduceus?
Yes. Swap the book, scissors or thermometer for a tourniquet, stethoscope or other tool; we redraw them at no art charge.
What size works on a carrier?
Three to 3.5 inches across. We scale the lettering on your proof so it stays readable.
How do I mark up the design?
Use the markup tool in the quote form — circle tools, pin notes on lettering and switch colorways. The gear you annotate is bundled with the quote.
