Patent ID: 8491540

Claim:
A system for managing liquid flow associated with a tissue site, the system comprising: a liquid source operable to supply a liquid; a reduced-pressure source operable to supply reduced pressure; a first valve in fluid communication with the reduced-pressure source, the first valve movable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the first valve is operable to be activated based on a presence of reduced pressure; a second valve in fluid communication with the reduced-pressure source, the second valve movable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the second valve is operable to be activated based on the presence of reduced pressure; wherein at least one of the first valve and the second valve is in the closed position, when under reduced pressure, to obstruct a flow of the liquid; a reservoir fluidly coupled to the first valve and the second valve, the reservoir operable to contain the liquid from the liquid source; a first delivery conduit in fluid communication with the reservoir, wherein the first delivery conduit is operable to deliver the liquid from the liquid source; and a second delivery conduit in fluid communication with the reservoir, wherein the second delivery conduit is operable to deliver the liquid from the reservoir to the tissue site.
