ABSORBENT CONDUIT AND SYSTEM

There is provided a system for treating a tissue site, comprising: a tissue interface adapted to be positioned proximate to the tissue site; a dressing, comprising: a sealing member adapted to cover the tissue interface and the tissue site and to provide a sealed space between the sealing member and the tissue site, and a conduit interface positioned proximate to the sealing member and in fluid communication with the tissue interface; a reduced-pressure source adapted to provide a reduced pressure to the dressing; a therapy unit configured to receive a reduced-pressure feedback signal from the dressing; and a conduit comprising a primary lumen and at least one secondary lumen, the primary lumen in fluid communication between the dressing and the reduced-pressure source, the at least one secondary lumen in fluid communication between the dressing and the therapy unit, at least a portion of the conduit being comprised of an absorbent material that is vapor permeable and liquid impermeable.
