Abstract
An assembly (20) of syringes (22) includes a first layer (32) enclosing the syringes. The first layer maintains the syringes in an orientation where some of the syringes have a first, larger end aligned with the second, smaller end of the remainder of the syringes. The first layer also protects the syringes from outside contaminants. A second layer (34) encloses the first layer and protects it from outside contaminants. The syringes and the first layer preferably are sterilized within the second layer 34.
