Systems and methods for managing pneumatic pathways in integrated multilayer wound dressings

A system for providing instillation fluid to a deep abdominal wound, the system comprising:

• an instillation module defining a first surface and a second, abdominal contents-facing surface, the instillation module including a distribution hub configured to receive instillation fluid from an instillation fluid source;
• a connection structure comprising:
• a first surface;
• a second, abdominal contents-facing surface;
• and
• a flow path extending between the first surface of the connection structure and the second surface of the connection structure, the flow path including an inlet configured to receive an instillation fluid conduit engaged with the instillation fluid source and an outlet in fluid communication with the instillation module, the flow path defining an axis extending between the inlet and the outlet and configured to compress in a direction defined by the axis;
• and
• a negative pressure manifold defining a first surface and a second, abdominal contents-facing surface, the second surface of the negative pressure manifold directly coupled to the first surface of the instillation module, and wherein the flow path extends through the negative pressure manifold such that the flow path is positioned within the negative pressure manifold.
