Abstract
Disclosed embodiments may relate to negative-pressure therapy, which may collect exudate from a tissue site. In some embodiments, a multi-canister module may allow a single negative-pressure source to draw exudate into two or more canisters. In some embodiments, pressure sensing may take place alongside negative-pressure treatment. In some embodiments, the multi-canister module may be configured to allow for one of the canisters to be changed without interrupting negative-pressure therapy.
