An antimicrobial composition which exhibits excellent mildness characteristics comprising from about 11-17% of an ionic detergent, from about 1.1 to about 7% foaming agents, from about 2.2 to 14% of a moisturizer/emollient agent, from about 0.1 to about 0.7% of a thickener, from about 1.5 to about 3.75% of an active antimicrobial agent, sufficient acid if necessary to adjust the pH in the range of 4.5 to 6.5, and adding water to 100%.

A liquid dispenser and collapsible bag, the bag preferably having a self-sealing valve inherently formed from the sides of the bag, the bag being equipped with clips to engage clip receiving structure on the dispenser. The dispenser having a frame, with a bag support structure, a pump structure, and a clip receiving structure to engage the bag clips for the opening and closing of the valve.

A tissue irrigating solution useful for irrigating animal tissue, such as ocular tissue and neuro tissue, during surgery, contains sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, and bicarbonate ions as well as dextrose and glutathione in proportions consistant with the osmotic stability and continued metabolism of the tissue cells. The irrigating solution is prepared by mixing a first basic solution which provides the bicarbonate and a second acidic solution which provides the calcium, magnesium, dextrose and glutathione. The first and second solutions may be stored as stable, sterile solutions for extended periods of time and mixed within 24 hours of use.

An ophthalmic irrigating solution useful for irrigating the human eye contains sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, and bicarbonate ions as well as dextrose and glutathione in proportions consistent with the osmotic stability and continued metabolism of the endothelial cells. The irrigating solution is prepared by mixing a first basic solution which provides the bicarbonate and a second acidic solution which provides the calcium, magnesium, dextrose and glutathione. The first and second solutions may be stored as stable, sterile solutions for extended periods of time and mixed within 24 hours of use.
