Abstract
A valve arrangement for administering an instillation and/or negative pressure therapy through at least a first wound dressing and a second wound dressing includes a valve arrangement including a first flow path, a first valve, a second flow path, and a second valve. The first flow path extends between a source port and a first wound dressing port structured for fluid communication with the first wound dressing. The first valve is positioned in the first flow path. The second flow path extends between the source port and a second wound dressing port structured for fluid communication with the second wound dressing. The second valve is positioned in the second flow path.
Claims29
A valve arrangement for administering an instillation and/or negative pressure therapy through at least a first wound dressing and a second wound dressing, the valve arrangement comprising:
- an instillation source port structured to engage a instillation fluid source;
- a negative pressure source port structured to engage a negative pressure source;
- a first instillation flow path including a first instillation valve, the first instillation flow path extending between the instillation source port and a first instillation wound dressing port structured for fluid communication with the first wound dressing;
- a second instillation flow path including a second instillation valve, the second instillation flow path extending between the instillation source port and a second instillation wound dressing port structured for fluid communication with the second wound dressing;
- a first negative pressure flow path including a first negative pressure valve, the first negative pressure flow path extending between the negative pressure source port and a first negative pressure wound dressing port structured for fluid communication with the first wound dressing;
- and
- a second negative pressure flow path including a second negative pressure valve, the second negative pressure flow path extending between the negative pressure source port and a second negative pressure wound dressing port structured for fluid communication with the second wound dressing.

A system, comprising:
- a fluid source structured to dispense an instillation fluid;
- a negative pressure source structured to generate a negative pressure;
- an instillation valve arrangement comprising:
- a first instillation flow path extending between an instillation source port structured to engage the fluid source and a first wound dressing port structured to engage a first wound dressing;
- a first instillation valve positioned in the first instillation flow path;
- a second instillation flow path extending between the instillation source port and a second wound dressing port structured to engage a second wound dressing;
- and
- a second instillation valve positioned in the second instillation flow path;
- a negative pressure valve arrangement comprising:
- a first negative pressure flow path extending between a negative pressure source port structured to engage the negative pressure source and a first wound dressing port structured to engage the first wound dressing;
- a first negative pressure valve positioned in the first negative pressure flow path;
- a second negative pressure flow path extending between the negative pressure source port and a second wound dressing port structured to engage the second wound dressing;
- and
- a second negative pressure valve positioned in the second negative pressure flow path.
