Low profile flexible pressure transmission conduit

A system for treating a tissue site, comprising:

• a foam interface adapted to be positioned in fluid communication with the tissue site;
• a dressing adapted to cover the foam interface at the tissue site, the dressing comprising:
• a first sealing member adapted to provide a sealed space between the first sealing member and the tissue site,
• a first wicking layer disposed in the sealed space,
• a second wicking layer disposed in the sealed space, and
• an absorbent layer disposed between the first wicking layer and the second wicking layer;
• wherein a peripheral portion of the first wicking layer is directly coupled to a peripheral portion of the second wicking layer providing a wicking layer enclosure surrounding the absorbent layer between the first and the second wicking layer;
• a low-profile conduit adapted to be fluidly coupled to the dressing and comprising a receiving end and a transmitting end separated by a length, the transmitting end configured to be coupled to the dressing, the low-profile conduit further comprising a receiving end aperture at the receiving end, a transmitting end aperture at the transmitting end, a manifold, and a second sealing member, the manifold sealingly enclosed and encapsulated within the second sealing member;
• a conduit interface adapted to be coupled to the receiving end of the low-profile conduit, the conduit interface in fluid communication with the dressing through the low-profile conduit;
• a reduced pressure source;
• and
• a conduit adapted to be fluidly coupled between the conduit interface and the reduced pressure source, wherein a distal end of the conduit includes a coupling configured to attach to the reduced pressure source.
