1. A manually-compressible pump for reduced pressure treatment, comprising:

  • a compressible side wall;

    first and second end caps connected at opposite ends of the side wall to form an inner chamber defined by the side wall and the end caps, the inner chamber having a volume that varies from a maximum value when the side wall is in an uncompressed position to a minimum value when the side wall is in a compressed position;

    a connection port disposed in one of the first and second end caps to allow fluid communication with the inner chamber;

    a one-way valve disposed in one of the first end cap, the second end cap, and the side wall to allow fluid expulsion from the inner chamber; and

    a hydrophobic filter in communication with the one-way valve to prevent liquid from exiting the inner chamber through the one-way valve.
