A reduced pressure treatment apparatus includes a drape for positioning
over the wound site to create and maintain a substantially air-tight
cavity between the wound site and the drape. A multi-lumen suction tube
is provided to be attached to a reduced pressure source. The multi-lumen
suction tube includes a center lumen and at least one outer lumen and is
configured to deliver reduced pressure beneath the drape to the
substantially air-tight cavity. The multi-lumen suction tube is adapted
to allow fluid to be drawn from the wound site through the center lumen
and pressure to be monitored at the wound site through the at least one
outer lumen.
