1. Apparatus for storing a bioprosthesis submerged in a liquid storage solution comprising:

  • a jar having a base, an annular side wall extending upwardly from the base, and an upper annular rim portion at the top of the annular side wall; and

    a lid removably mounted on the rim portion, the jar and the lid collectively comprising a container from which the storage solution cannot escape while the lid is on the jar, the lid having a centrally located boss that extends down into the jar below an upper edge of the annular side wall when the lid is on the jar, the boss shaped to prevent any of the storage solution in the jar from coming between any portion of the boss and remaining structure of the lid above the boss so that the boss reduces the volume of the jar that can contain the storage solution when the lid is on the jar.
