FLUID COLLECTION CANISTER WITH INTEGRATED MOISTURE TRAP

摘要

A moisture trap for removing liquid from fluid from a tissue site treated with reduced pressure are described. The moisture trap may include a barrier adapted to be fluidly coupled to and define an indirect fluid path between a fluid reservoir and a reduced-pressure source. The barrier may have a hydrophilic surface. The moisture trap also may include a sump adapted to receive condensation from the barrier.

1. A system for treating a tissue site with reduced pressure, the system comprising:
a dressing adapted to be placed adjacent to the tissue site; a canister having a fluid reservoir adapted to be fluidly coupled to the dressing; a moisture trap fluidly coupled to the fluid reservoir, the moisture trap comprising a barrier and a sump adapted to receive condensation from the barrier; and a reduced-pressure source adapted to be fluidly coupled to the moisture trap; wherein the barrier comprises a hydrophilic surface and defines an indirect fluid path between the fluid reservoir and the reduced-pressure source.
