We call these bulb suction devices "penguins." Whereas most bulb suction devices are disposable, the penguin can be opened up and cleaned and used over and over again. The penguin is used to suction the mouth of the baby to remove mucous and sometimes meconium prior to beginning ventilation with the bag and mask. Our penguins even have little eyes and wings molded into the silicone.
By the way, I learned that there are no real penguins in Madagascar!
