English term or phrase: coupling cushion
I'm translating a user manual for a medical device and I'm not sure about this term. If anyone could help me, I'd be really grateful. Here you have a sentence for some context.

The shock waves travel through the water filled coupling cushion mounted to the therapy head, where they are precisely focused by an acoustic lens to the target tissue.

Extra: Outside
Corporeal: The body
Shock wave: High frequency sound waves
Lithotripsy: Breaking up a stone

Extra Corporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is the process of introducing a shock wave from a source outside the body. This shock wave is produced by the therapy head. The shock wave travels through a water cushion then travels out of the therapy head through a coupling medium (water) and into the body. The shock wave is focussed as it leaves the therapy head through a convex lens.
