Abstract
A reduced pressure delivery system for applying reduced pressure tissue treatment to a tissue site is provided. The system includes a manifold delivery tube and a balloon having an inner space. The balloon is capable of assuming collapsed and expanded positions. The system further includes a manifold having a plurality of flow channels. The manifold is disposed within the inner space of the balloon. A sharp tip is configured to be delivered within the manifold delivery tube to puncture the balloon.

A reduced pressure delivery system for applying reduced pressure tissue treatment to a tissue site comprising:
- a manifold delivery tube;
- a balloon having an inner space and being capable of assuming collapsed and expanded positions;
- a manifold having a plurality of flow channels, the manifold disposed within the inner space of the balloon;
- and
- a sharp tip configured to be delivered within the manifold delivery tube to puncture the balloon.
A reduced pressure delivery system for applying reduced pressure tissue treatment to a tissue site comprising:
- a reduced pressure delivery tube for delivering reduced pressure to the tissue site;
- a manifold having a plurality of flow channels surrounding the reduced pressure delivery tube, the manifold fluidly connected to the reduced pressure delivery tube;
- an impermeable membrane surrounding the manifold, the impermeable membrane capable of assuming compressed, relaxed, and expanded positions;
- and
- a manifold delivery tube configured to deliver the reduced pressure delivery tube, the manifold, and the impermeable membrane to the tissue site.
A reduced pressure delivery system for applying reduced pressure tissue treatment to a tissue site comprising:
- a manifold delivery tube having a distal end, the distal end configured to be positioned at the tissue site;
- a balloon having an inner space and being capable of assuming collapsed and expanded positions;
- and
- a manifold having a plurality of flow channels, the manifold disposed within the inner space of the balloon;
- wherein the balloon and the manifold are configured to be delivered to the tissue site through the manifold delivery tube.
