    a container having sidewalls and a lower wall defining a solution receiving chamber, and an opening adjacent an upper portion of the container, said chamber containing a sterile irrigation solution;

    an elongated barrier member having a first outer opening, an inner end portion defining a second opening, and a channel to receive said syringe, said barrier member being insertable through the container opening into an operative position with the inner end portion of the barrier member located adjacent the container lower wall and with said second opening of the barrier member communicating with the container chamber, said channel having a width slightly larger than the syringe barrel to closely receive the syringe barrel while permitting passage of air between the atmosphere and the second opening, said barrier member having a sufficient length to substantially cover the syringe barrel when positioned in said channel, said barrier member being removed from the container and said syringe being removed from the barrier member with said barrier member having a closure member releasably attached to an outer end portion of the barrier member and closing said second opening of the barrier member from the atmosphere; and

    means for sealingly engaging the barrier member to the container in said container opening responsive to insertion of the barrier member into the container to said operative position, whereby said barrier member may be inserted into the container to said operative position with the inner end portion of the barrier member in said solution and with said closure member attached to the barrier member to form an air column in the barrier member channel and a lower level of the solution adjacent said second opening, the closure member may be removed from the barrier member to expose said channel, and said syringe may be inserted into the channel to form a sterile solution containing device.
