Ozone Therapy
"Nach Abschluß der Aufbereitung wird der Wurzelkanal gründlich mit einer 5 %igen Wasserstoff-Superoxidlösung gespült und anschließend getrocknet. Auf die dünnste Elektrode wird ein ***Abdichtungstrichter*** aufgesetzt, dann erfolgt die Therapie bei geringer Intensität über eine Zeitspanne von 40 Sekunden pro Kanal. In diesem Falle folgt ein provisorischer Verschluß. Die definitive Wurzelfüllung wird in einer weiteren Sitzung ausgeführt. Dieser Behandlung mit nascierendem Sauerstoff ging eine Wurzelspitzenresektion voraus, die jetzt zum zweiten mal zur Heilungsunterstützung therapiert wird. Die hier gegebenen Hinweise zur Geräteeinstellung und zur Behandlungsdauer sind Richtwerte. Sie werden von Fall zu Falle erhöht oder verringert werden müssen."
From a text about ozone therapy in dentistry - and specifically in this passage, endodontics. I can't find a translation for "Abdichtungstrichter" anywhere, and the word gets no hits on Google, so is obviously obscure or maybe an invention. My best guesses aren't really getting any Google hits either. If all else fails, I'll just translate it literally as sealing funnel, but thought I'd try asking just in case anyone has a brilliant inspiration. This is extremely urgent, so please don't delay too long in answering. At the same time, please try to make a little bit of a case for your guess. TIA for your (hopefully fast) help.

sealing cone
pure suggestion -- a Trichter in this context is anything that reduces the diameter of an a pipe, chute, etc. It would more likely be called a cone in this context than a funnel.
Good luck!

Comment: "Thanks so much for your assistance in my hour of need. I'm not completely sure about this, so will add a proviso to that effect in the glossary, and usually when I'm not sure I only award three points, but you definitely deserve the maximum for answering my call for help! And the suggestion was quite a reasonable one too. So thanks again - really appreciate your help here."
