Medical - Medical: Instruments / máscaras de CPAP
English term or phrase: pillows
Olá! Gostaria de uma ajuda na tradução em PT-BR do termo "pillows" que aparece nas seguintes frases:

"Sleep freely on pillows of air"
"The XXX represents minimalist, highly effective nasal pillows design at its best..."
"Place the pillows on your nose until you feel a comfortable seal."
"Give the wings (pillows) a little wiggle for comfort."

Trata-se de uma máscara nasal direta. Sei do que se trata mas estou um pouco em dúvida sobre a tradução do termo. Seria "almofadas"?

Obrigada!
