A cassette for use in dispensing a pleated tubing. The cassette includes an annular body having a generally U shaped housing with a central cylindrical core. The at least one wall has an upper end with a downturn lip disposed thereon. An annular cover extends radially outward from the central cylindrical core over the annular body defining a gap. The cover has a socket into which the upper end with the downturn lip is secured. A tubing is disposed within the u-shaped housing and withdrawn from the gap.

1. A cassette to dispense a pleated tubing, comprising: an annular body having a generally U shaped housing with a central cylindrical core, at least one wall has an upper end with a downturn lip disposed thereon;an annular cover extending radially outward from the central cylindrical core over the annular body defining a gap, the cover having a socket into which the upper end with the downturn lip is secured; anda tubing disposed within the u-shaped housing and withdrawn from the gap,wherein the socket comprises: a shoulder that extends around a portion of a first side of the upper end of the at least one wall of the annular body;a horizontal wall that extends from the shoulder over a top surface of the at least one wall of the annular body; anda cylindrical wall that extends around a second side of the upper end of the at least one wall of the annular body. 2. The cassette recited in claim 1, wherein the cylindrical wall extends over a remote end of the upper end of a return angle; andthe socket further comprises a locking flange extending from the cylindrical wall that extends over the remote end of the upper end of the return angle, the locking flange adapted to mate with the downturn lip. 3. The cassette recited in claim 1, wherein the annular cover has at least one recess adapted to rotate the cassette. 4. The cassette recited in claim 1, wherein the annular cover has at least one cover aperture adapted to rotate the cassette. 5. The cassette recited in claim 1, wherein the annular body has at least one body aperture adapted to rotate the cassette. 6. The cassette recited in claim 5, wherein the at least one body aperture is provided in an angular wall in the annular body. 7. The cassette recited in claim 2, wherein the shoulder is concentric and abuts the first side of the upper end of the at least one wall of the annular body completely around the annular body. 8. The cassette recited in claim 2, wherein the shoulder is intermittently concentric about the upper end of the at least one wall of the annular body there around. 9. The cassette recited in claim 2, wherein the shoulder extends substantially further than a length of a peripheral edge of the annular downturned lip. 10. The cassette recited in claim 2, wherein the shoulder extends to substantially a length of the locking flange. 11. The cassette recited in claim 2, wherein the locking flange extends to substantially a length as long as the downturned lip. 12. The cassette recited in claim 2, wherein the locking flange extends to substantially a length longer than the downturned lip. 13. A cassette to dispense a pleated tubing, comprising: an annular body having a generally U shaped housing with a central cylindrical core, at least one wall has an upper end with a downturn lip disposed thereon; andan annular cover extending radially outward from the central cylindrical core over the annular body defining a gap, the cover having a socket into which the downturn lip is secured, the socket comprises: a shoulder that extends around a portion of a first side of the upper end of the at least one wall of the annular body;a horizontal wall that extends from the shoulder over a top surface of the at least one wall of the annular body;a cylindrical wall that extends over a remote end of the upper end of a return angle and around a second side of the upper end of the at least one wall of the annular body; anda locking flange extending from the cylindrical wall that extends over the remote end of the upper end of the return angle. 14. The cassette recited in claim 13, wherein the annular cover has at least one recess or cover aperture adapted to rotate the cassette. 15. The cassette recited in claim 13, wherein the annular body has at least one body aperture adapted to rotate the cassette. 16. The cassette recited in claim 15, wherein the at least one body aperture is provided in an angular wall in the annular body. 17. The cassette recited in claim 13, wherein the shoulder is concentric and abuts the first side of the upper end of the at least one wall of the annular body completely around the annular body. 18. The cassette recited in claim 13, wherein the shoulder is intermittently concentric about the upper end of the at least one wall of the annular body there around. 19. The cassette recited in claim 13, wherein the shoulder extends substantially further than a length of a peripheral edge of the annular downturned lip. 20. A cassette to dispense a pleated tubing, comprising: an annular body having a generally U shaped housing with a central cylindrical core, at least one wall has an upper end with a downturn lip disposed thereon;an annular cover extending radially outward from the central cylindrical core over the annular body defining a gap, the cover having a socket shape construction into which the downturn lip is secured and the upper end is secured, the socket shape construction comprises: a shoulder that extends around a portion of a first side of an upper end of the one wall of the annular body;a horizontal wall that extends from the shoulder over a second side of the at least one wall of the annular body;a cylindrical wall that extends over a remote end of the upper end of the downturn lip and around a third side of the at least one wall of the annular body; anda locking flange extending from the cylindrical wall that extends over the remote end of the upper end of the downturn lip; anda tubing disposed within the u-shaped housing and withdrawn from the gap.
