The annular body includes an inner wall, an angular wall a bottom wall and an outer wall. The annular cover has an outer wall and a ledge that extends radially inward from the outer wall and over the annular body that defines a gap between an inner edge of the ledge and the inner wall of the annular body. An inter-engagement mechanism is provided on the annular body and on opposite edges of the annular cover that cooperates to secure the cover to the body. At least one aperture is provided in the angular wall to enable ventilation of the air.

A cassette for use in dispensing a pleated tubing, comprising:
- an annular body having a generally U shaped housing with a central cylindrical core, the annular body having an inner wall, an angular wall that is concentric and frustoconically flat all the way around the body, and an outer wall, wherein the angular wall extends from the inner wall;
- an annular cover secured to the body, the annular cover comprising:
- an outer wall;
- a ledge that extends radially inward from the outer wall and over the annular body defining a gap between an inner edge of the ledge and the inner wall of the annular body,
- wherein the outer wall extends slightly higher than the radially inward extending ledge to define a concentric lip;
- and
- at least one aperture provided in the angular wall in the annular body.
