A reduced pressure delivery system is provided and includes a primary
manifold, a blockage prevention member, and first and second conduits in
fluid communication with the primary manifold. The primary manifold
includes a flexible wall surrounding a primary flow passage and is
adapted to be placed in proximity to a tissue site. The blockage
prevention member is positioned within the primary flow passage. A
plurality of apertures is disposed in the flexible wall to communicate
with the primary flow passage. The first conduit is fluidly connected to
the primary flow passage to deliver reduced pressure through the primary
flow passage and the plurality of apertures. The second conduit includes
an outlet proximate the primary flow passage or an outlet of the first
conduit to purge the primary flow passage or first conduit to prevent
blockages.
