Descripción del producto
The Zippo Medical Design Windproof Lighter pairs a recognizable medical emblem with the windproof flame and solid-brass build that made Zippo a pocket-carry icon. It is refillable, rebuildable, and covered by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee, and it arrives empty and ready for you to fuel and carry. Here is what our Hosts want you to know before you pick one up in El Paso.
A medical emblem with a story
The Medical Design front carries the classic medical emblem, the winged, serpent-and-staff symbol most people recognize from ambulances, scrubs, and hospital signage. Historically there are two related symbols: the single-snake Rod of Asclepius, tied to the Greek god of healing, and the winged, two-snake caduceus, and American medicine has long used them side by side. Either way the emblem reads instantly as healthcare, which is why this is a popular everyday carry and a meaningful gift for nurses, EMTs, paramedics, and other healthcare Hosts. The motif sits on a solid-brass Classic-size case.
How the windproof flame works
A Zippo is windproof because the flame burns inside a perforated chimney, the windscreen wall that surrounds the wick, which shields it from gusts and lets it relight instantly. That is the practical difference from a disposable lighter: it stays lit outdoors, in the wind, and on a patio. Flip the lid, roll the flint wheel, and you get the signature click and a steady flame.
Refillable and rebuildable for years
This is a refillable lighter, not a throwaway. It runs on premium lighter fluid, and the two wear parts are simple to service: the flint that throws the spark and the wick that carries fuel to the flame. When the spark gets weak, drop in fresh replacement flints; when the wick darkens and shortens over time, install a replacement wick. Keep the lid closed between uses to slow evaporation, and top off the fuel before a night out. One important note: this lighter ships empty, with no fuel inside, so plan to fuel it before the first use. Cared for this way, a single Zippo can last for decades.
Covered by Zippo's lifetime guarantee
Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter carries the brand’s famous lifetime guarantee, summed up as it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and Zippo repairs it at no charge for the life of the lighter. To be clear about who does what: El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter, and Zippo honors the guarantee and performs the repair. Zippo windproof lighters are made in Bradford, Pennsylvania.

Preguntas y Respuestas
What does the medical symbol on the Zippo Medical Design lighter mean?
It is the classic medical emblem, the winged serpent-and-staff symbol associated with medicine and emergency care. Two related symbols exist: the single-snake Rod of Asclepius, the original Greek symbol of healing, and the winged two-snake caduceus, and both are widely used across American healthcare. On this lighter the emblem simply marks it as a medical-themed design, which makes it a popular pick for nurses, EMTs, and paramedics.
Does the Zippo Medical Design lighter come with lighter fluid?
No. Like all genuine Zippo windproof lighters it ships empty for safe shipping, so there is no fuel inside when you open it. You will need premium lighter fluid before the first use. It is also a flame lighter, not a vape and not any kind of concealment device.
How do you fill this Zippo lighter?
Lift the insert out of the brass case, raise the felt pad, and slowly saturate the cotton packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid. Stop as soon as the packing is soaked, never overfill, then wipe the lighter and your hands dry before you spark it. A full fill gives roughly an hour of total burn time, and it is worth topping off before a trip since the fuel slowly evaporates even when the lighter is closed.
Is the Zippo Medical Design lighter actually windproof?
Yes. The flame burns inside a perforated chimney wall that shields it from wind, so it stays lit outdoors and relights fast in conditions where a disposable lighter would blow out. That windproof design is the reason Zippo windproof lighters are a long-running go-to for the outdoors.
What does Zippo's lifetime guarantee cover, and who repairs it?
Zippo's lifetime guarantee is summed up as it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the lighter's mechanism ever fails, you send it to Zippo and they repair it at no charge for the life of the lighter. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; Zippo honors the guarantee and performs the repair.
Can I replace the flint and wick myself?
Yes, and that is part of what makes a Zippo last. The flint and wick are normal wear parts: swap in a fresh flint when the spark weakens, and fit a new wick when the old one shortens and darkens. With routine fuel, flint, and wick service, a single lighter can run for decades.
Lighters and tobacco accessories are sold to adults 21+ only, with a valid government-issued photo ID required at pickup. This is a windproof, open-flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty, with no fuel inside; add premium lighter fluid before first use and keep flame, fuel, and refills away from children. Use responsibly.
