The reservoir has a liquid therein. A hub is positioned within the reservoir. A plurality of spools are positioned on the hub such that the spools are spaced apart from the inner surface and are rotatable relative to the basin. The spools each have a wire wrapped around each of the spools. At least a portion of each of the wires extends through the liquid. Systems and methods are disclosed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A wire organizer, comprising: a basin comprising an inner surface defining a reservoir, the reservoir having a liquid therein; a hub positioned within the reservoir; and a plurality of spools positioned on the hub such that the spools are spaced apart from the inner surface and are rotatable relative to the basin, the spools each having a wire wrapped around each of the spools, wherein at least a portion of each of the wires extends through the liquid. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A wire organizer as recited in claim 1, wherein the reservoir is concave. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) A wire organizer as recited in claim 1, wherein the liquid is saline. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) A wire organizer as recited in claim 1, wherein the liquid is heparinized saline. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) A wire organizer as recited in claim 1, wherein the wires are surgical guidewires. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) A wire organizer as recited in claim 1, wherein the wires are surgical guidewires each having a different configuration. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) A wire organizer as recited in claim 6, wherein the different configurations include differences in at least one of a group consisting of length, tip shape, stiffness and thickness. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) A wire organizer as recited in claim 1, wherein the basin comprises a plurality of vertical slots that are spaced apart from one another, the wires each extending through one of the vertical slots such that a portion of each of the wires is positioned outside of the reservoir. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A wire organizer as recited in claim 1, wherein the basin comprises an absorbent material and a plurality of vertical slots that are spaced apart from one another, the wires each extending through one of the vertical slots such that a portion of each of the wires extends through the absorbent material and another portion of each of the wires is positioned outside of the reservoir. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) A wire organizer as recited in claim 9, wherein the absorbent material is a Telfa pad. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) A wire organizer as recited in claim 9, wherein the absorbent material is positioned within the vertical slots. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) A wire organizer as recited in claim 1, wherein the hub is removably positioned with the reservoir and the spools are removably positioned on the hub. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) A wire organizer as recited in claim 1, wherein the reservoir has an open top with a maximum width that is greater than that of each of the spools to facilitate positioning of the spools within the reservoir. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) A wire organizer as recited in claim 1, wherein the basin comprises molded plastic. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) A wire organizer as recited in claim 1, further comprising a clamp coupled to the basin, the clamp comprising a fastening element configured to removably engage a procedure table to provisionally fix the basin relative to the procedure table. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) A wire organizer as recited in claim 1, further comprising double sided tape adhered to a bottom surface of the basin. ### Claim 17 A wire organizer kit, comprising: a basin comprising an inner surface defining a reservoir and a hub positioned within the reservoir; a sterile liquid configured for disposal in the reservoir; a plurality of spools each configured to be positioned on the hub, the spools each having a guidewire wrapped around each of the spools; and a fastening element configured to provisionally fix the basin to a procedure table used in interventional radiology, cardiology or nephrology procedures, wherein the guidewires each having a different configuration that includes differences in at least one of a group consisting of length, tip shape, stiffness and thickness. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) A wire organizer kit as recited in claim 17, wherein the fastening element is a clamp or double sided tape. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) A wire organizer kit as recited in claim 17, wherein the sterile liquid is saline. ### Claim 20 A wire organizer, comprising: a basin made from molded plastic and comprising an inner surface defining a concave reservoir, the reservoir having heparinized saline therein, the basin further comprising an absorbent material and a plurality of vertical slots that are spaced apart from one another; a hub removably positioned within the reservoir; and a plurality of spools made from plastic and removably positioned on the hub such that the spools are spaced apart from the inner surface and are rotatable relative to the basin about a rotation axis defined by the hub, the spools each having a surgical guidewire wrapped around each of the spools, the guidewires each extending through the absorbent material, the heparinized saline and one of the vertical slots such that a portion of each of the guidewires is positioned outside of the reservoir.
