The creation of the NitroHolster, a holder for a nitroglycerin bottle, resulted from my need for an efficient way to carry the bottle of nitroglycerin tablets that my doctor said I would have to carry with me for the rest of my life.

Originally, after a few weeks of carrying the nitroglycerin bottle in my pocket, I could no longer read the label which was torn and rubbed clean of print. Though I hunted for a holder which would protect the bottle and prescription information, I found only containers which held a few nitroglycerin tablets and required that the original bottle be opened before I needed to use the medication. These holders were unacceptable for me because the potency life of the nitroglycerin would be reduced and the bottle with the instructions left elsewhere.

I designed and created the NitroHolster after exhausting attempts to find one already on the market which allowed me to keep the tablets in the original, unopened bottle with the prescription information , expiration date, and usage directions in tact. I made a prototype and used it myself. Friends saw it and asked me to make one for them. My doctor saw it and asked me to make some for him to give to his other heart patients. So, I polled some pharmacists who gave me encouragement and a thumbs up.

Because of the obvious need, I sought and gained a patent on the NitroHolster. I have placed it on the market now for others who need to carry nitroglycerin with them where ever they go.
