Abstract

A device for interfacing a negative pressure source with a dressing disposed on a wound site includes a housing. The housing includes a cavity including an opening configured to fluidly communicate with the dressing. The housing further includes a housing port extending through the housing and fluidly communicating with the cavity. The housing port is configured to fluidly couple the cavity with the negative pressure source. The device further includes a filter at least partially covering the cavity of the housing and facing the opening of the housing. The filter is air permeable. The device further includes a chamber defined between the housing and the filter opposite to the opening. An air flow between the chamber and the opening occurs through the filter. The device further includes a sensor received within the chamber and configured to sense at least one parameter associated with the wound site.
