Anyone know where to get Vigil closing loop material and washers?

It makes sense for the loop manufacturer to limit their liabilities by explicitly requiring the material not to be used with other AAD's. I doubt they make money from the loop and disc materials.

Correct. They give the loops and discs away for free, because they want to make sure that only Cypres loops are used with Cypres AADs. They never tested Cpyres loops with any other AAD, so that they can't take liability for them.

If you have a Vigil or Argus, why not using their specific loops and discs? Seems quite logical to me.

If the other manufacturer tells me I need a loop of a certain material, a certain thickness, and a certain strength, and the Airtec material meets those specifications, why should I NOT use the material I have on hand?

Since Airtec is not the one making the approval, there is no liability passed on to them.
