Sleeves, manifolds, systems, and methods for applying reduced pressure to a subcutaneous tissue site

摘要

The illustrative embodiments described herein are directed to apparatuses, systems, and methods for applying reduced pressure to subcutaneous tissue site. In one illustrative embodiment, the apparatus includes a sleeve adapted for placement at a subcutaneous tissue site. The sleeve is further adapted to receive a manifold. The sleeve may also have an opening operable to transfer reduced pressure from the manifold to the subcutaneous tissue site. In one embodiment, the apparatus may also include a manifold that is insertable into the sleeve. The manifold may include at least one aperture, and may be operable to deliver reduced pressure to the subcutaneous tissue site via at least one aperture.

1. A system for applying reduced pressure to a subcutaneous tissue site, the system comprising:
a sleeve adapted for placement at the subcutaneous tissue site, the sleeve comprising a lumen, a distal end, a proximal end, and an opening; a manifold sized and shaped to be inserted into the lumen of the sleeve, wherein the manifold comprises a plurality of apertures configured to face the opening when the manifold is inserted into the sleeve, and wherein the manifold is operable to deliver reduced pressure to the subcutaneous tissue site through the plurality of apertures and the opening; and a flange disposed along the manifold between the distal end of the sleeve and the plurality of apertures.
