Fluid removal systems and methods for removing a fluid from a tissue site are presented. The systems includes a semi-permeable inbound conduit, which is fluidly coupled to a treatment-fluid delivery unit, for placement proximate to the tissue site, and a semi-permeable outbound conduit, which is fluidly coupled to the inbound conduit and to a treatment-fluid collector, for placement proximate to the tissue site of a patient. The treatment-fluid collector receives a treatment fluid and the fluid, which is recruited, from the tissue site. A recruited-fluid determination unit may be coupled to the treatment-fluid collector to determine a volume of the recruited fluid recruited from the patient. The treatment fluid is any fluid (including a gas) that pulls the recruited fluid from an interstitial and intracellular space. A reduced-pressure treatment subsystem may also be included, among other things, for removing ascites and other fluids from a body cavity.

1. A method for removing a fluid from a tissue site, the method comprising: placing a semi-permeable inbound conduit proximate to the tissue site;fluidly coupling a treatment-fluid delivery unit to the inbound conduit, the treatment-fluid delivery unit operable to deliver a treatment fluid to the inbound conduit;placing a semi-permeable outbound conduit proximate to the tissue site;fluidly coupling a conduit interface comprising a plurality of tributary conduits sized for a patient's abdominal cavity between the outbound conduit and the inbound conduit; anddisposing the treatment fluid within the treatment-fluid delivery unit. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising fluidly coupling a treatment-fluid collector to the outbound conduit, the treatment-fluid collector for receiving the treatment fluid and the fluid, which is recruited, from the tissue site. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising coupling a recruited-fluid determination unit to the treatment-fluid collector, the recruited-fluid determination unit operable to determine a volume of the recruited fluid. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the treatment fluid is selected from the group consisting of a CaCl2 solution, a KCI solution, a NaCl solution, and a dry gas. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: introducing a treatment device into a body cavity proximate the tissue site, the treatment device comprising: a fenestrated non-adherent drape;a plurality of encapsulated leg members coupled to the non-adherent drape, each encapsulated leg member comprising fenestrations and an interior portion with a leg manifold member, the fenestrations operable to allow a fluid flow into the interior portion; anda central connection member coupled to the non-adherent drape and to the plurality of encapsulated leg members, the central connection member comprising a connection manifold member, a first side, and a second, patient-facing side, wherein each leg manifold member is in fluid communication with the connection manifold member;disposing a manifold proximate the first side of the central connection member, the manifold operable to distribute a reduced pressure to the central connection member;disposing a sealing member on a portion of the tissue site to form a pneumatic seal over the body cavity; andfluidly coupling a reduced-pressure delivery conduit to the manifold. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising: sizing the treatment device for use in the body cavity; anddecoupling a first coupler on the inbound conduit and a second coupler on the outbound conduit to correspond with a size of the treatment device. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising sizing the inbound conduit and the outbound conduit to fit within a body cavity. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the inbound conduit and the outbound conduit each comprise a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having an end coupled to the second portion by a coupler, wherein decoupling the coupler seals the end of the first portion for sizing the inbound and outbound conduits. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the tributary conduits comprise a semi-permeable material. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the treatment fluid is hyperosmotic relative to the tissue site. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein fluidly coupling the tributary conduits between the outbound conduit and the inbound conduit provides a closed fluid path. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the inbound conduit, the outbound conduit, and the tributary conduits comprise a biocompatible, osmotic material. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the treatment fluid creates an osmotic gradient between the tissue site and the semi-permeable inbound and outbound conduits.
