Patent ID: 8864728

Claim:
A system for applying reduced pressure to a subcutaneous tissue site, the system comprising: a reduced-pressure source for supplying reduced pressure; a fluid source for supplying a fluid; a manifold adapted for placement at the subcutaneous tissue site, the manifold comprising: a plurality of first conduits, each of the plurality of first conduits having a wall formed with at least one first aperture and at least one second aperture, at least one of the plurality of first conduits in fluid communication with the reduced-pressure source and operable to deliver the reduced pressure to the subcutaneous tissue site via the at least one first aperture, and a second conduit formed by a portion of each wall of the plurality of first conduits, the second conduit being in fluid communication with the plurality of first conduits via the at least one second aperture; a delivery conduit fluidly coupled to the manifold and reduced-pressure source; an end cap adapted to be coupled to a distal end of the manifold to form a distribution space across the distal ends of the first and second conduits; wherein the second conduit is enclosed by the first conduits and the end cap from the outside environment; and wherein the distribution space permits fluid delivered by the second conduit to be transferred to the first conduits via the distribution space.
