Dear Addressee

KESTRA MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, LTD (THE “COMPANY”)

We have been asked to provide this legal opinion to you with regard to the laws of Bermuda in connection with the preparation and filing on behalf of the Company of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as may be amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”), initially filed by the Company on or about 10 February 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement relates to the proposed offering of up to 10,000,000 common shares of par value of US$1.00 each in the capital of the Company (the “Shares”), and up to 1,500,000 additional Shares to cover the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, all to be offered for sale or issue at the price and on the terms as determined in the Registration Statement (the “Offering”).

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the originals, copies or translations of the documents listed in Schedule 1 (the “Documents”).

In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set out in Schedule 2, which we have not independently verified.

We are Bermuda Barristers and Attorneys and express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of Bermuda in force and as interpreted at the date of this opinion. We have not, for the purposes of this opinion, made any investigation of the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction.

Based upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and having regard to legal considerations which we consider relevant, and subject to the qualifications set out in Schedule 3, and under the laws of Bermuda, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorised and will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable upon payment for and delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Registration Statement.

This opinion is limited to the matters referred to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein. This opinion is given solely for your benefit and the benefit of your legal advisers acting in that capacity in relation to this Offering and may not be relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent.

We understand that the Company wishes to file this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement as Exhibit 5.1 and to reference this firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement, and we hereby consent thereto.

SCHEDULE 2

ASSUMPTIONS

1. | There are no provisions of the laws of any jurisdiction outside Bermuda which would be contravened by the execution or delivery of the Documents or in any contracts or instruments, including but not limited to indentures and instruments, prepared in relation to the offer and creation of any of the Shares, as contemplated by the Registration Statement and, insofar as any obligation expressed to be incurred under the Registration Statement is to be performed in or is otherwise subject to the laws of any jurisdiction outside Bermuda, its performance will not be illegal by virtue of the laws of that jurisdiction.

2. | The originals of all documents examined in connection with this opinion are authentic. The signatures, initials and seals on the Documents are genuine and are those of a person or persons given power to execute the Documents under the Resolutions or any power of attorney given by the Company to execute the Documents. All documents purporting to be sealed have been so sealed. All copies are complete and conform to their originals. Any translations are a true translation of the original document they purport to translate. The Documents conform in every material respect to the latest drafts of the same produced to us.

3. | The Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws reviewed by us are the memorandum of association and amended and restated bye-laws of the Company and are in force at the date hereof.

4. | The Company Records are complete and accurate and all matters required by law and the Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws to be recorded therein are so recorded.

SCHEDULE 3

QUALIFICATIONS

1. | We express no opinion upon any provisions in the Documents which contain a reference to any law or statute that is not a Bermudian law or statute.

2. | Except as explicitly stated in this opinion, we express no opinion in relation to any representation or warranty contained in the Documents nor upon matters of fact or the commercial terms of the transactions contemplated by the Documents.

3. | “Non-assessability” is not a legal concept under Bermuda law. Reference in this opinion to shares being “non-assessable” shall mean, in relation to fully-paid shares of the Company and subject to any contrary provision in any agreement in writing between the Company and the holder of shares, that no member shall be:

| (a) | obliged to contribute further amounts to the capital of the Company, either in order to complete payment for their shares, to satisfy claims of creditors of the Company, or otherwise; and

| (b) | bound by an alteration of the Memorandum of Association or Bye-laws of the Company after the date on which they became a member, if and so far as the alteration requires them to take, or subscribe for additional shares, or in any way increases their liability to contribute to the share capital of, or otherwise to pay money to, the Company.
