Multi-orientation canister for use with a reduced pressure treatment system

摘要

Systems and methods for reduced pressure tissue treatments, including a multi-orientation canister. The canister includes an inlet for receiving fluids from a tissue site, and a main chamber in fluid communication with the inlet for receiving fluids from the inlet. The canister includes a filter chamber separated from the main chamber by one or more filter chamber walls. The one or more filter chamber walls includes a primary hole having a first diameter and a secondary hole having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. The primary hole provides a first path of fluid communication between the filter chamber and the main chamber. The canister includes an outlet for providing fluid communication between the filter chamber and a reduced pressure source.

1. A multi-orientational canister for use in a reduced pressure tissue treatment, comprising:
an inlet adapted to be fluidly connected with a tissue site and capable of receiving fluids from the tissue site; a main chamber in fluid communication with the inlet for receiving the fluids from the inlet; a filter chamber separated from the main chamber by one or more filter chamber walls; a filter positioned within the filter chamber and separated from the main chamber by one or more of the filter chamber walls; a primary hole having a first diameter positioned through the one or more filter chamber walls for providing a first path of fluid communication between the filter chamber and the main chamber; a secondary hole having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter positioned through the one or more filter chamber walls; and an outlet providing fluid communication with the filter chamber, the outlet adapted to be fluidly connected to a reduced pressure source.
