A negative pressure wound therapy system is configured for treating multiple wounds on a patient's body. The system preferably includes a source of negative air pressure, an air source, a first fluid collection volume, and a second fluid collection volume. The source of negative air pressure is in fluid communication with the first fluid collection volume, the first collection volume is in fluid communication with the second fluid collection volume, and the second fluid collection volume is in fluid communication with the air source, so that the source of negative air pressure, the first fluid collection volume, the second fluid collection volume, and the air source are fluidly connected in series.
