Claims14
A fluid-delivery connection pad comprising:
- a body having a dressing side and a connection side, the dressing side including a surface defining a cavity having an upper portion and a base portion, and a flange surrounding the base portion of the cavity, the connection side including:
- a fluid-delivery connection having a fluid-delivery lumen in fluid communication with an upper portion of the cavity and configured to be coupled to a fluid source, and
- a first pressure-sensor lumen extending into the cavity and configured to be coupled to a pressure sensor, a lateral portion of the first pressure-sensor lumen in fluid communication with the cavity through a notch extending from the lateral portion into the cavity;
- wherein the surface defining the cavity includes an open channel at the upper portion of the cavity, the open channel coupled to the fluid-delivery lumen.
