A baster or like device includes a liquid tube and a squeezable, resilient suction bulb. The suction bulb includes a series of radially spaced scallops or indentations about its outer surface, which provide ergonomic advantages in gripping the suction bulb. Further, the spacing between the indentations defines a series of lands, which function to bias the suction bulb to its undeformed condition. The suction bulb is removably mounted to the liquid tube, and a pair of sealing rings are located toward the rearward end of the liquid tube. The suction bulb includes internal grooves which receive and mate with the sealing rings. The forward end of the suction bulb engages a shoulder defined by a stop ring formed on the liquid tube. This structure provides a fluid-tight seal between the liquid tube and the suction bulb, to prevent leakage of air or other fluid during use.
