Insufflator pipe, which consists of two lengths of hollow, cylindrical metal that are joined together at both ends; at the tip end of the pipe, the lengths join together and form a short length of hollow, cylindrical tubing with a round, open end; at the other end of the pipe, the tubes join together inside the top of a round cap; the bottom of the cap is threaded to allow it to be attached to a glass jar; there are three round holes that go through the cap; a length of bent hollow cylindrical tubing is attached to the bottom of one of these holes; this allowed liquid in the glass jar to be drawn up into the pipe; the other side of the top of the cap (opposite to the joined tubes) has a single short length of hollow cylindrical tubing; this tubing is bulbous at its open outer end to allow for the attachment of rubber tubing and a squeeze bulb.
