1. A system for delivering fluid to a negative pressure wound therapy dressing, the system comprising:
- a wound dressing;
a negative pressure source coupled to the wound dressing;
a fluid flow device in fluid communication with the wound dressing;
a control device configured to control a fluid flow from the fluid flow device; and
a pressure sensor coupled to the wound dressing and to the control device, wherein the pressure sensor is configured to send a control signal to the control device and control fluid flow from the fluid flow device when the pressure sensor detects a predetermined pressure at the wound dressing.
