Patent ID: 8690845

Claim:
A reduced-pressure interface for connecting a reduced-pressure source to a manifold pad to treat a tissue site on a patient with reduced pressure, the reduced-pressure interface comprising: a conduit housing having a first cavity separated from a second cavity by a dividing wall, the first cavity providing a reduced-pressure-application region and the second cavity providing a pressure-detection region; a reduced-pressure port disposed within the reduced-pressure-application region; a pressure-detection port disposed within the pressure-detection region; a base connected to the conduit housing, the base having a manifold-contacting surface; a plurality of circumferential channels concentrically disposed in the manifold-contacting surface to transmit reduced pressure from the reduced-pressure-application region to the pressure-detection region; a plurality of first radial channels disposed in the manifold-contacting surface, the plurality of first radial channels in communication with the reduced-pressure-application region; a plurality of second radial channels disposed in the manifold-contacting surface, the plurality of second radial channels in communication with the pressure-detection region; wherein the plurality of circumferential channels provide communication between the plurality of first radial channels and the plurality of second radial channels; and wherein the dividing wall includes a surface substantially coplanar with the manifold-contacting surface.
