Wound-connection pads for fluid instillation and negative pressure wound therapy, and systems and methods

A fluid-delivery system for providing fluid to a wound insert adapted to be in fluid communication with a wound, comprising:

• a wound dressing comprising a drape configured to be disposed over a wound insert;
• a fluid-delivery connection pad configured to be fluidly coupled to the wound insert through a first aperture in the drape, comprising:
• a first domed cover having a dressing side and a connection side, the dressing side forming a cavity having an upper portion and a base portion adapted to be disposed proximate the wound insert,
• a fluid lumen connection on the connection side configured to be coupled to a fluid source and having a fluid-delivery lumen on the dressing side extending from the fluid lumen connection, and
• a flange extending radially outward from the first domed cover and defining a terminus of the base portion, wherein the fluid-delivery lumen extends into the cavity for providing fluid to the wound insert;
• and
• a vacuum connection pad configured to be fluidly coupled to the wound insert through a second aperture in the drape, the second aperture being separated a distance from the first aperture.
