The canister (26) is coupled to the bandage (14) such that, when a vacuum is applied to the canister (26), the vacuum is applied to the bandage (14). The fluid source (22) is coupled to the bandage (14) to selectively introduce fluid into the wound (300) and the fluid source is coupled to a post (514) and held at an elevated position relative to the housing (4) of the control system.
