Patent ID: 8465465

Claim:
A dynamic, reduced-pressure treatment system for treating a tissue site on a patient, the system comprising: a manifold adapted to be positioned adjacent the tissue site for distributing reduced pressure to the tissue site; a sealing member adapted to be coupled to an epidermis of the patient to cover the manifold and to form a fluid seal between the sealing member and the tissue site; a reduced-pressure source for producing the reduced pressure; a reduced-pressure delivery member for delivering the reduced pressure from the reduced-pressure source to the manifold, the reduced-pressure delivery member adapted to transmit liquid and gas from the tissue site; a liquid-impermeable-and-gas-permeable member adapted to substantially segregate the liquid into a separate liquid flow and the gas into a separate gas flow; and a wave generator in fluid communication with the separate liquid flow, wherein the wave generator imparts a wave to the liquid.
