Abstract

A reduced pressure delivery system for applying reduced pressure tissue treatment to a tissue site is provided. The system includes a manifold delivery tube and a balloon having an inner space. The balloon is capable of assuming collapsed and expanded positions. The system further includes a manifold having a plurality of flow channels. The manifold is disposed within the inner space of the balloon. A sharp tip is configured to be delivered within the manifold delivery tube to puncture the balloon.

Claims

a manifold delivery tube configured to deliver the reduced pressure delivery tube, the manifold, and the impermeable membrane to the tissue site.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the impermeable membrane is sealingly connected to the manifold delivery tube.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the impermeable membrane is sealingly connected to the reduced pressure delivery tube.

12. The system of claim 9 further comprising a reduced pressure source fluidly connected to the reduced-pressure delivery tube.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein a reduced pressure is applied through the reduced-pressure delivery tube to the plurality of flow channels.

14. The system of claim 9, wherein the impermeable membrane is expanded by injecting a fluid into the impermeable membrane.

15. The system of claim 9, wherein the impermeable membrane includes radio-opaque markers.

16. A reduced pressure delivery system for applying reduced pressure tissue treatment to a tissue site comprising:

a manifold delivery tube having a distal end, the distal end configured to be positioned at the tissue site;

a balloon having an inner space and being capable of assuming collapsed and expanded positions; and

a manifold having a plurality of flow channels, the manifold disposed within the inner space of the balloon;

wherein the balloon and the manifold are configured to be delivered to the tissue site through the manifold delivery tube.

17. The system of claim 16 further comprising a reduced pressure delivery tube fluidly connected to at least one of the plurality of flow channels.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein a reduced pressure is applied through the reduced-pressure delivery tube to the at least one flow channel.

19. The system of claim 16, wherein the balloon is sealingly connected to the manifold delivery tube.

20. The system of claim 16, wherein the balloon includes radio-opaque markers.
