  • Publication number: 20190290835
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for delivering reduced pressure to a subcutaneous tissue site, such as a bone tissue site. In one instance, a manifold for providing reduced pressure to a subcutaneous tissue includes a longitudinal manifold body formed with at least one purging lumen and a reduced-pressure lumen. The manifold further includes a plurality of manifolding surface features or slits formed on the second, tissue-facing side of the longitudinal manifold body and a plurality of apertures formed in the longitudinal manifold body on the second, tissue-facing side. The plurality of apertures fluidly couple the reduced-pressure lumen and the manifolding surface features or slits. The manifold further includes an end cap fluidly coupling the reduced-pressure lumen and the at least one purging lumen. Other systems, apparatuses, and methods are presented.

  • Publication number: 20090306631
    Abstract: The illustrative embodiments described herein are directed to a system, method, and apparatus for applying a reduced pressure to a subcutaneous tissue site. The apparatus includes a manifold that is adapted to be inserted for placement at the subcutaneous tissue site. The manifold may include at least one purging lumen operable to deliver a fluid to a distal portion of the manifold. The manifold may also include at least one slit at the distal portion of the manifold. The manifold may include at least one reduced-pressure lumen operable to deliver reduced pressure to the subcutaneous tissue site via the at least one slit. In one example, the manifold also includes an interlumen channel fluidly interconnecting the at least one purging lumen, the at least one reduced-pressure lumen, and the at least one slit at the distal portion of the manifold.
