perforators
Tools making holes
Perforators are tools or machines that punch holes through material—paper, metal, skin, or other surfaces.
In surgery, perforators are blood vessels that pass through tissue layers, connecting superficial and deep vascular networks.
The term also applies to industrial equipment that creates perforated lines for easy tearing: The perforators on the assembly line process thousands of sheets per hour.
