Portuguese term or phrase: Biberão
"XXX é um doseador do tipo biberão com bolas de manutenção directamente aplicado na tomada de aspiração."


Trata-se de uma aplicação que tem forma de biberão. Estaria interessado em saber se há algum termo técnico para esta forma que possa ser utilizado na verão inglesa, ou se pelo contrário "baby bottle" seria um termo perfeitamente aceitável numa descrição des especificidades técnicas.

This is an accessory in the shape of a baby bottle. I was interested in knowing whether there would be an alternative name to baby bottle you might use in a text explaining the technical data of this item, or if you think baby bottle is actually quite suitable.

Thank you all!
