Calypso bowl system

A Calypso Bowl System (10) for supporting a plurality of surgical wires (12)(14)(16) and for dispensing individual surgical wires from the plurality of surgical wires, the system comprising, in combination:

• an exterior bowl (26) having a closed bottom (28), an open top (30), and a side wall (32) there between, an exterior annular flange (34) extending radially outwardly from the open top of the exterior bowl;
• an interior bowl (38) having an open bottom (40), an open top (42), and a side wall (44) there between, an interior annular flange (46) extending radially outwardly from the open top of the interior bowl, the open bottom of the interior bowl being coupled to the closed bottom of the exterior bowl to create an annular chamber (48) between the side wall of the exterior bowl and the side wall of the interior bowl;
• a plurality of support bars (47), each support bar being located within the annular chamber, each support bar having an inner surface adjacent to the interior bowl, each support bar having an outer surface formed with recesses (49);
• a plurality of clips (50), each clip having a lower end attached to an associated one of the support bars, each clip having an upper end for removably coupling to the interior annular flange;
• the interior annular flange being formed with a plurality of circumferentially spaced apertures, the plurality of circumferentially spaced apertures including a first aperture (54), a second aperture (56), and a third aperture (58);
• tubing supported by the recesses, the tubing including a lowermost tube (62) with a top end and a bottom end, and the tubing also including a central tube (64) with a top end and a bottom end, and the tubing also including an uppermost tube (66) with a top end and a bottom end, the top end of the lowermost tube being adjacent to the first aperture, the top end of the central tube being adjacent to the second aperture, the top end of the uppermost tube being beneath the third aperture;
• a plurality of surgical wires including a first surgical wire (12) and a second surgical wire (14) and a third surgical wire (16), the first surgical wire (12) extending through the first aperture (54), and the second surgical wire (14) extending through the second aperture (56), and the third surgical wire (16) extending through the third aperture (58);
• indicia “L” on the interior flange representing LONG indicating the length of an adjacent one of the surgical wires, indicia “S” on the interior flange representing SHORT indicating the length of an adjacent one of the surgical wires;
• and
• a quantity of saline solution (70) in the annular chamber whereby the plurality of surgical wires within the tubes are submerged in the saline solution.
