dropper
Squeeze-bulb glass tube
A dropper is a small tube with a squeezable rubber bulb at one end, used to dispense liquid in drops: an eye dropper, a medicine dropper.
The term extends to anyone or anything that drops: a name-dropper casually mentions important acquaintances, and a jaw-dropper is something astonishing.
In drug contexts, a dropper may be someone who delivers contraband.
