    摘要: A fluid medical waste canister has interior surfaces that are exposed only to compressive stresses when a vacuum is applied, thereby eliminating the potential for environmental stress cracking. The canister is compatible with medical procedures that generate fluids having high fat/lipid content, such as liposuction procedures. The canister avoids certain stress concentration distributions that cause cracks to close onto themselves, which can cause one or more pieces of the canister wall to rupture into its interior volume. Because the canister is designed to avoid conditions that initiate canister implosion during liposuction procedures, low-cost polystyrene may be used as a waste canister material for such procedures.

    摘要: A bridge for facilitating delivery of reduced pressure to a wound site of a patient includes a reduced pressure lumen configured to be fluidly coupled to a reduced pressure source, and a secondary pressure lumen configured to be fluidly coupled to a secondary pressure source at a first end and to the reduced pressure lumen at a second end, thereby facilitating flow of exudate removed from the wound site by the reduced pressure source using the secondary pressure source. The reduced pressure lumen or the secondary pressure lumen includes a skin contacting surface formed of a moisture permeable membrane comprising an air-impermeable film that allows moisture from the patient to transfer into the reduced pressure lumen or secondary pressure lumen through the moisture permeable membrane while maintaining reduced pressure at the wound site.
