Fluid bridge for simultaneous application of negative pressure to multiple tissue sites

Abstract

Disclosed embodiments may relate to devices, systems, and methods for providing negative-pressure therapy simultaneously to a plurality of tissue sites using a single negative-pressure source. For example, a fluid bridge may comprise a plurality of distal ends, each configured to interact fluidly with a tissue site. In some embodiments, each distal end may have an aperture. The bridge may also comprise a port for entry of negative pressure into the enclosed space of the bridge. In some embodiments, each distal end may comprise a one-way valve. The enclosed space of the fluid pathway between the distal ends and the port may be supported in some embodiments, to prevent collapse due to negative pressure and/or compression.
