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 (32)

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

a manifold delivery tube;

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

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

a sharp tip configured to be delivered within the manifold delivery tube to puncture the balloon.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the balloon is sealingly connected to the manifold delivery tube.

3. The system of claim 1 further comprising a reduced pressure delivery tube fluidly connected to at least one of the plurality of flow channels.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the balloon is sealingly connected to the reduced pressure delivery tube.

5. The system of claim 3 further comprising a reduced pressure source fluidly connected to the reduced-pressure delivery tube.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein a reduced pressure is applied through the reduced-pressure delivery tube to the plurality of flow channels.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the balloon is expanded by injecting a fluid into the balloon.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the balloon includes radio-opaque markers.

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

a reduced pressure delivery tube for delivering reduced pressure to the tissue site;

a manifold having a plurality of flow channels surrounding the reduced pressure delivery tube, the manifold fluidly connected to the reduced pressure delivery tube;

an impermeable membrane surrounding the manifold, the impermeable membrane capable of assuming compressed, relaxed, and expanded positions; and

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.
