Abstract:
1. A method for delivering reduced pressure to a tissue site at a limited-access location, the method comprising the steps of: disposing a first manifold proximate the tissue site; disposing a sealing member over the first manifold, the sealing member having a first aperture; providing a reduced-pressure bridge having a first end and a second end, the reduced-pressure bridge having a second aperture proximate the first end and having a second manifold and a moisture-removing device; coupling a reduced-pressure interface to the second end of the reduced-pressure bridge; disposing the first end of the reduced-pressure bridge over at least of portion of the sealing member with the second aperture substantially aligned with the first aperture; and fluidly coupling a reduced-pressure source to the reduced-pressure interface.
