Evaporative fluid pouch and systems for use with body fluids

摘要

An inline storage-and-liquid-processing pouch for use with body fluids from a patient is presented that involves introducing body fluids into a first chamber in the storage-and-liquid-processing pouch and flowing air through a second chamber. The chambers are separated by a high-moisture-vapor-transfer-rate member. The air flow in the second chamber enhances liquid removal from the first chamber across the high-moisture-vapor-transfer-rate member. Other systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein.

1. A system for treating a tissue site on a patient with reduced-pressure, the system comprising:
a reduced-pressure dressing for disposing proximate to the tissue site; a first reduced-pressure conduit fluidly coupled to the reduced-pressure dressing for delivery reduced pressure thereto; an inline storage-and-liquid-processing pouch having a first chamber and a second chamber separated by a first high-moisture-vapor-transfer-rate member, wherein the first reduced-pressure conduit is fluidly coupled to the first chamber; a reduced-pressure source fluidly coupled to the first chamber; a pressure source fluidly coupled to the second chamber at a first evaporation port; a second evaporation port formed on the inline storage-and-liquid-processing pouch; and wherein the pressure source is configured to move air within the second chamber.
