Abstract:
1. A reduced pressure treatment system comprising: a manifold positioned at a tissue site; a canister having a collection chamber, an inlet, and an outlet, the inlet being fluidly connected to the porous pad; a reduced pressure source fluidly connected to the outlet of the canister to deliver a reduced pressure to the collection chamber and the tissue site such that fluid from the tissue site is drawn into the collection chamber; a liquid-air separator associated with the outlet to prevent liquid from exiting the collection chamber through the outlet; a baffle positioned within the canister to deflect liquid entering the canister from prematurely blocking the liquid-air separator; wherein the baffle includes a deflector plate; wherein at least one raised member is positioned on the deflector plate to burst bubbles that form as fluid enters the collection chamber.
