(1) Includes 15,000 shares of common stock which the Underwriters have the
    option to purchase solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

(2) Estimated solely for purposes of determining the registration fee pursuant
    to Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933 based on the average high
    and low trading prices of the common stock, as reported on the Nasdaq
    National Market, on February 22, 2000.

(3) This Registration Statement also relates to the rights to purchase shares of
    Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Registrant
    which are attached to all shares of Common Stock issued, pursuant to the
    terms of the Registrant's Shareholder Rights Agreement dated as of June 8,
    1998. Until the occurrence of certain prescribed events, the rights are not
    exercisable, are evidenced by the certificates for the Common Stock and will
    be transferred with and only with such Common Stock. Because no separate
    consideration is paid for the rights, the registration fee therefore is
    included in the fee for the Common Stock.

Burlington, MA 01803

         Re: REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This opinion is delivered in our capacity as counsel to Zoll Medical
Corporation (the "Company") in connection with the preparation and filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration
Statement") relating to 115,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.02 per share
(the "Registered Shares"), including 15,000 shares which the Underwriters (as
defined below) have an option to purchase solely for the purpose of covering
over-allotments, if any. The Registered Shares are to be sold by the Company to
the several underwriters (the "Underwriters") of which Salomon Smith Barney,
U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and Adams, Harkness & Hill, Inc. are the
representatives (the "Representatives") pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement
(the "Underwriting Agreement") to be entered into between the Company and the
Representatives of the Underwriters.

     As counsel for the Company, we have examined the form of the proposed
Underwriting Agreement, the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of
Organization and the Company's Amended and Restated By-laws, each as presently
in effect, and such records, certificates and other documents of the Company as
we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

     We are attorneys admitted to practice in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
We express no opinion concerning the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
laws of the United States of America and The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

     Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that when (i) the
Underwriting Agreement is completed (including the insertion therein of pricing
terms) and executed by the Company and on behalf of the Underwriters, and (ii)
the Registered Shares are sold to the Underwriters and paid for pursuant to the
terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Registered Shares will be duly
authorized, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Company under
the General Business Corporation Law of Massachusetts.

     The foregoing assumes all requisite steps will be taken to comply with the
requirements of the Act, applicable requirements of state laws regulating the
offer and sale of securities and applicable requirements of The Nasdaq Stock
Market, Inc.

     We hereby consent to being named as counsel to the Company in the
Registration Statement, to the references therein to our firm under the caption
"Legal Matters," and to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                                      Very truly yours,


                                      /s/ Goodwin, Procter & Hoar LLP

                        CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

We consent to incorporation by reference in this Registration Statement (Form
S-3) of ZOLL Medical Corporation for the registration of 115,000 shares of its
common stock of our report dated November 12, 1999 with respect to the
consolidated financial statements of ZOLL Medical Corporation included in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (333-94793) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
