Liquid-collection canister with multi-orientation filter

A liquid-collection canister for collecting liquid from a tissue site, comprising:

• a liquid collection chamber configured to collect the liquid from the tissue site;
• and
• a filter assembly configured to be positioned within the liquid collection chamber in fluid communication between the liquid collection chamber and a reduced
• pressure port, wherein at least a portion of the filter assembly is configured to reach opposite and transverse ends of the liquid collection chamber.

A system for collecting liquid from a tissue site to which reduced pressure treatment is applied, the system comprising:

• a liquid collection canister, comprising:
• a canister body comprising a collection port and a first sensing port;
• a canister lid configured to define a liquid collection chamber relative to the canister body, the canister lid comprising a reduced pressure port and a second sensing port, the first second port configured to be fluidly coupled to the first sensing port;
• a filter carrier configured to be coupled to the reduced pressure port and to extend across the liquid collection chamber;
• and
• a filter coupled to the filter carrier, the filter configured to allow gaseous communication and prevent liquid from leaving the canister body;
• a dressing fluidly coupled to the collection port and the first sensing port;
• and
• a reduced pressure source fluidly coupled to the reduced pressure port.
