French term

une pompe péristaltique linéaire à doigts

French to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Linear Peristaltic Pump
In this phrase, I am wondering if "fingers" is the correct translation of "doigts" - "a linear peristaltic pump with fingers". Is this correct? If you look at the image of the "linear peristaltic pump" here, I believe the "doigts" refer to the fingerlike rods that create the occlusions against the tube: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristaltic_pump

For more context on how the pump works, I have this:

Les pompes péristaltiques sont constituées d'une série de doigts parallèles mus d'un mouvement de va-et-vient vertical. Le mouvement de chaque doigt est décalé par rapport au précédent de telle sorte que les extrémités des doigts forment une sinusoïdale qui se déplace dans le sens du pompage. L'extrémité de doigts vient appuyer sur une tubulure souple placée entre ceux-ci et une plaque d'appui. Le doigt le plus bas provoque une occlusion qui migre vers l'aval de la pompe de doigt en doigt jusqu'au dernier. Lorsque le dernier doigt est en position d'occlusion, le premier doigt au moins est à nouveau en position d'occlusion provoquant ainsi le mouvement du fluide contenu dans la tubulure.

If you could help me with the term "doigts", it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.
