a first opening having a first diameter defined by the first end of the cuff or nozzle, wherein the first end of the cuff or nozzle is connected with the distal second end of the hose body;
a second opening having a second diameter defined by the second end of the cuff or nozzle, wherein the first diameter is larger than the second diameter;
an intermediate section of the cuff or nozzle comprising a concave surface positioned between the first end of the cuff or nozzle and the second end of the cuff or nozzle; and
