Care of your ADC® Nylon holster
Your ADC® Responder nylon holster is made from durable 1000D nylon, lined with cushioning
foam. Pocket Organizer is made from 420D nylon.
When soiled, wash by hand in cold water with a mild soap. Never use bleach. Allow holster to air dry.
Never iron over hook & loop fasteners-heat from the iron will damage them.
The instrument pockets might be tight initially, but will stretch within a few weeks. Never overload
nylon holsters as this may damage the seams or cause the nylon to wear prematurely. We recom-
mend that you do not put sharp-tipped instruments (such as splinter forceps) inside your nylon hol-
ster. If, however, you find it necessary to carry a sharp-tipped instrument, place a protective cover
(such as a plastic pen cap) over the tips.
To convert your snap-on belt loop to a permanent belt loop
if you do not require the convenience of a snap-on belt loop, and instead prefer the security of a per-
manent loop you can convert your ADC® nylon holster as follows:
1. Obtain a “super glue” or epoxy at your localm convenience store.
2. Making sure snaps are clean and dry; apply 2 or 3 drops to the male portion of each snap, along
the rim and outer edge.
3. Snap both snaps closed and allow glue to set according to the directions on the glue package.
4. Test that glue snaps hold. If either snap doesn’t hold repeat the process.
