Patent ID: 8647315

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a medical canister connector comprising forming a body from a soft thermoplastic polymer, the body comprising: a first connection member for coupling to a first reduced-pressure delivery conduit and for coupling to a first pressure-sensing conduit; a patient-port attachment member for coupling to a patient port on the medical canister and having a patient-port opening and a first longitudinal axis, the first patient-port attachment member coupled to the first connection member; a second connection member for coupling to a second reduced-pressure delivery conduit and for coupling to a second pressure-sensing conduit; a reduced-pressure-port attachment member for coupling to a reduced-pressure port on the medical canister and having a reduced-pressure-port opening and a second longitudinal axis; a pressure transport member having a first end and a second end, the first end of the pressure transport member coupled to the first connection member and the second end of the pressure transport member coupled to the second connection member; and wherein the medical canister connector has a free position and wherein the canister is operable to be maneuvered into a loading position.
