perforator

Paper hole punch

A perforator is a tool or device that punches holes through material, typically paper.

Office perforators create the holes that allow pages to be stored in ring binders.

Industrial perforators create the lines of small holes that make paper easy to tear along a predetermined path, as in sheets of stamps or notebook pages.

In medical contexts, a perforator is an instrument for piercing bone or tissue, or a blood vessel that connects superficial and deep veins.
