Abstract
A reduced pressure treatment system includes a distribution manifold having a backing substrate with a first side and a second side and a plurality of protrusions positioned on the first side of the backing substrate. Each of the protrusions includes a substantially circular cross-sectional shape and has a diameter of between about 0.1 and 2.0 millimeters, the backing substrate having a plurality of apertures formed therein to allow fluid communication between the first side and the second side opposite the first side. A reduced pressure source is fluidly connected to the apertures of the backing substrate to deliver the reduced pressure through the apertures, between the protrusions, and to a tissue site.
