Abstract

A solution applicator includes a container, a head and a cap. The head includes a top portion for use in applying the solution, a spike member which is used to pierce or open a membrane and at least one protrusion extending from the head. The cap includes a top portion that receives the spike member, a bottom portion that connects to the container and a middle portion that defines a circumferential channel and an axial channel. The protrusion is received within the circumferential channel and the axial channel such that the head can be moved relative to the cap in first a rotational motion and then an axial motion to open the solution container.
