  • Publication number: 20140336599
    Abstract: A suction manifold assembly for a fluid management system comprised of a suction manifold and a mounting member. The suction manifold includes a single outlet port and a plurality of inlet ports, including a removable inlet port having a tissue collection device for collecting excised tissue. The suction manifold assembly enables convenient and precise adjustment of suction levels of inputs into fluid collection containers, integrates tissue collection with suction operations, and provides strain relief to tubing thereby allowing accurate fluid deficit monitoring operations.
