1. A device for use in negative-pressure therapy, comprising:
an input negative-pressure port configured to be fluidly coupled to a negative-pressure source;
a therapy pressure-sensing port configured to be fluidly coupled to an external pressure sensor;
a first receptor configured for removable attachment of a first canister;
a second receptor configured for removable attachment of a second canister;
a first negative-pressure port fluidly coupled to the input negative-pressure port;
a first pressure-sensing port fluidly coupled to the therapy pressure-sensing port;
a second negative-pressure port fluidly coupled to the input negative-pressure port; and
a second pressure-sensing port, wherein the therapy pressure-sensing port or a controller, or both, are configured to obtain an average pressure from the first pressure-sensing port and the second pressure-sensing port.
