Abstract: A connector for a NPWT system includes a first section and a second section. The first section has a first reduced pressure lumen and a first secondary pressure lumen for delivering reduced pressure from a pump unit to a primary wound site through the reduced pressure lumen and secondary pressure from the pump unit to the primary wound site through the first secondary pressure lumen. The second section has a second reduced pressure lumen and a vent lumen with the second reduced pressure lumen being in fluid communication with the first reduced pressure lumen of the first section for delivering reduced pressure from the pump unit to a secondary wound site through the second reduced pressure lumen and the vent lumen being in fluid communication with the atmosphere for delivering secondary pressure from the atmosphere to the secondary wound site through the vent lumen.

Abstract: A resilient connector for a negative pressure wound therapy system. The connector includes a first lumen having an entrance dimensioned and configured for slidably engaging a projection of a canister adapter to provide fluid communication of the first lumen to a first portion of reduced pressure tubing and an exit dimensioned and configured for slidably engaging a first projection of a dressing adapter to provide fluid communication of the first lumen to a second portion of reduced pressure tubing. The connector further a second lumen having an entrance dimensioned and configured for slidably engaging a second projection of the canister adapter to provide fluid communication of the second lumen to a first portion of secondary pressure tubing and an exit dimensioned and configured for slidably engaging a second projection of the dressing adapter to provide fluid communication of the second lumen to a second portion of the secondary pressure tubing.

Abstract: A system for managing reduced pressure to a wound site includes a wound enclosure configured to form a substantially sealed volume around the wound site, a first closed volume, a second closed volume, and a controller. The first closed volume includes a primary pressure source and a canister fluidly coupled to the primary pressure source. The first closed volume is configured to apply reduced pressure to the wound site and deliver exudate collected from the wound site to the canister through a first lumen. The second closed volume includes a secondary pressure source and is configured to apply a secondary pressure to the wound site through a second lumen to facilitate flow of the exudate from the wound site to the canister through the first lumen. The controller is configured to communicate with at least the second closed volume for selectively applying the secondary pressure to the wound site.
