half-syringe


Explanation:
I am not sure about this, but half-syringe is what comes to mind. Obviously, the literal translation of demi-plongeante is half-plunger, but I've never heard of that before.

What I'm envisioning with this term is a syringe that has numbers up the side to tell you how much fluid you're collecting. Does this make sense?
