Patent ID: 7527608

Claim:
A system for percutaneous infusion of an internal wound site, the system comprising: a first reservoir contained by a rigid housing, wherein the first reservoir is shaped to contain a first fluid; a controller comprising a motor and a peristaltic pump driven by the motor to urge the first fluid toward the internal wound site, the motor having an axis of rotation; a tube configured to engage the peristaltic pump to convey the first fluid, wherein the tube is coupled to the rigid housing at two locations along a length of the tube; and a catheter configured to convey the first fluid from the tube to the internal wound site and to infuse the first fluid into the internal wound site; wherein, in response to motion of the first reservoir along an attachment plane, the first reservoir is attachable to the controller to position the first reservoir alongside the motor; wherein the attachment plane is substantially parallel to at least one of the axis of rotation and an output shaft coupled to the motor to drive a pump.
