A reduced pressure delivery system for applying a reduced pressure to a tissue site includes a manifold delivery tube having at least two lumens and a manifold having a plurality of flow channels. The manifold is disposed within a first of the lumens of the manifold delivery tube. A balloon having an inner space and being capable of assuming collapsed and expanded positions is provided. The inner space of the balloon is fluidly connected to a second of the lumens of the manifold delivery tube.
