Abstract
A method of administering a reduced pressure tissue treatment to a tissue site includes percutaneously inserting a tube through a skin tissue of a patient to place a distal end of the tube adjacent the tissue site, the tube having at least one passageway. A balloon associated with the tube is positioned adjacent the tissue site, and the balloon is inflated to dissect and form a void adjacent the tissue site. A manifold having a plurality of flow channels is delivered through the passageway to the tissue site. The manifold is positioned such that at least one of the flow channels is in contact with the tissue site, and a reduced pressure is applied to the tissue site through the flow channels of the manifold.
