The distal portion may be coupled to the pad and includes at least one opening; and the tube may be configured to provide negative pressure therapy to a wound site. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A medical device system comprising: a bag including a first opening; a pad coupled to the bag proximate to the first opening; and a tube including a distal portion, wherein the distal portion is coupled to the pad and includes at least one opening; wherein the tube is configured to provide negative pressure therapy to a wound site. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The medical device system of claim 1, further comprising a pump assembly fluidically coupled to the tube, wherein the pump assembly applies negative pressure to the tube. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The medical device system of claim 1, wherein the pad is circular and includes a central lumen, and wherein the central lumen aligns with the first opening. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The medical device system of claim 3, wherein the distal portion of the tube extends circumferentially around the central lumen. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The medical device system of claim 4, wherein the at least one opening of the tube includes a plurality of openings, and wherein the plurality of openings face a direction towards the pad. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The medical device system of claim 1, further comprising a filter assembly coupled to the tube and configured to filter material received from the wound site. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The medical device system of claim 2, wherein the pump assembly includes a pump and a reservoir configured to receive material from a wound site. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The medical device system of claim 1, wherein the pad includes a channel configured to receive the tube, wherein the channel extends circumferentially around a central lumen of the pad. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The medical device system of claim 1, wherein the pad includes a perforated portion configured to be removable from the pad. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The medical device system of claim 1, wherein the pad includes a first layer of porous material and a second layer of porous material, and wherein a portion of the tube is positioned between the first layer of porous material and the second layer of porous material. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The medical device system of claim 1, wherein the pad includes an adhesive on a first side of the pad, and wherein the adhesive extends across a first portion of the first side of the pad and not across a second portion of the first side of the pad. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The medical device system of claim 1, further comprising a wafer, wherein a first side of the wafer is configured to couple the bag to the wafer, and wherein a second side of the wafer is configured to couple the pad to the wafer. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The medical device system of claim 12, wherein the wafer includes a convex portion, wherein the convex portion extends circumferentially around a central lumen of the wafer, and wherein the tube is positioned radially-outward, relative to a central longitudinal axis of the central lumen, relative to the convex portion. ### Claim 14 (depends on 2) The medical device system of claim 2, wherein the bag includes a pocket and the pump assembly is positioned within the pocket. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The medical device system of claim 1, wherein the pad is C-shaped. ### Claim 16 A medical device system comprising: a pad configured to couple to tissue, wherein the pad includes a central lumen; a first tube including a first distal portion, wherein the first distal portion is coupled to the pad, extends circumferentially around the central lumen, and includes at least one opening; and a second tube including a second distal portion, wherein the second distal portion is coupled to the pad, extends circumferentially around the central lumen, and includes at least one opening; wherein the first tube is configured to provide negative pressure therapy to a wound site; and wherein the second tube is configured to facilitate coupling the pad to the tissue. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The medical device system of claim 16, wherein the first distal portion includes a plurality of openings facing towards the central lumen, and wherein the second distal portion includes a plurality of openings facing away from the central lumen. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The medical device system of claim 17, wherein the first tube is configured to apply a first negative pressure, wherein the second tube is configured to apply a second negative pressure, and wherein the first negative pressure is different from the second negative pressure. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The medical device system of claim 18, further comprising an ostomy bag, wherein the pad is coupled to the ostomy bag. ### Claim 20 A medical device system comprising: a pad configured to couple to tissue, wherein the pad is a porous material; a tube including a distal portion, wherein the distal portion is coupled to the pad and includes a plurality of openings facing towards the pad; and a pump assembly coupled to a proximal portion of the tube; wherein the pump assembly is configured to provide negative pressure to the tube, the medical device system is configured to provide negative pressure therapy to a wound site, and the tube is positioned within a channel extending circumferentially around a central lumen of the pad.
