German term or phrase: Druckpelotte

"Druckpelotte übt gezielten Massage-effekt im Schmerzbereich aus."

"Pelotte" is also used in English. Its a kind of pad used with bandages to relieve pressure. But "pressure pelotte" cannot be found on Google.
Any ideas??
TIA.
Alexander

Thanks to all. This is he one I used, though compression pad might also have been good. The latter is used much less frequently though.
