Systems, method, and devices are disclosed that involve reconfiguring lumens or unblocking lumens relative to a blockage to maintain flow of reduced pressure to a subcutaneous tissue site. In one instance, a multi-lumen applicator includes an applicator body having a distal end and a proximal end and formed with a plurality of apertures for receiving fluid from the tissue site and for delivering reduced pressure, a first lumen fluidly coupled to the plurality of apertures, a first activation member having at least a closed position and a open position, and a second lumen fluidly coupled to the plurality of apertures but for the first activation member being in closed position. The configuration is such that when the first activation member is moved to the open position, the second lumen is fluidly coupled to the plurality of apertures. Other systems, methods, and devices are disclosed.

1. A system for providing reduced pressure to a subcutaneous tissue site and removing fluids from the subcutaneous tissue site, the system comprising: a multi-lumen applicator for distributing reduced pressure at the subcutaneous tissue site;a reduced-pressure source fluidly coupled to the multi-lumen applicator;a purging unit fluidly coupled to the multi-lumen applicator; andwherein the multi-lumen applicator comprises: an applicator body formed with a plurality of apertures,a first lumen initially fluidly configured to receive fluids from the tissue site through the plurality of apertures,a second lumen initially configured to provide a purging fluid to the first lumen, anda first frangible member disposed between the first lumen and second lumen, wherein the first frangible member is configured to rupture when exposed to a pressure differential greater than a first threshold pressure differential whereby at least a portion of the second lumen and a portion of the first lumen become fluidly coupled. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the multi-lumen applicator further comprises: a second frangible member operable to rupture when exposed to a pressure differential greater than a second threshold pressure differential; anda third lumen fluidly coupled to the plurality of apertures but for the second frangible member, whereby when the second frangible member ruptures, the third lumen is fluidly coupled to the plurality of apertures. 3. A system for providing reduced pressure to a subcutaneous tissue site, the system comprising: a multi-lumen applicator for distributing reduced pressure at the subcutaneous tissue site;a reduced-pressure source fluidly coupled to the multi-lumen applicator;a purging unit fluidly coupled to the multi-lumen applicator; andwherein the multi-lumen applicator comprises: an applicator body formed with a plurality of apertures,a first lumen initially fluidly configured to receive fluids from the tissue site through the plurality of apertures,a second lumen initially configured to provide a purging fluid to the first lumen, andan activation member disposed between the first lumen and second lumen, wherein the activation member is configured to fluidly couple, when activated, at least a portion of the second lumen and a portion of the first lumen whereby at least a portion of the second lumen transports the fluids from the tissue site over at least a portion of the second lumen. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the first activation member comprises a first frangible member that is activated when exposed to a pressure differential greater than a first threshold pressure differential. 5. The system of claim 3, wherein the first activation member comprises a first frangible member that is activated when exposed to a fluid. 6. The system of claim 3, wherein the first activation member comprises a first frangible member that is activated when exposed to a liquid. 7. The system of claim 3, wherein the first activation member comprises a pressure-activated valve. 8. The system of claim 3, wherein the first activation member comprises a remotely-activated valve. 9. The system of claim 3, wherein the multi-lumen applicator further comprises: a third lumen initially configured to provide a purging fluid to the first lumen, anda second activation member disposed between the third lumen and the first lumen, wherein the second activation member is configured, when activated, to fluidly couple at least a portion of the third lumen to at least a portion the first lumen to transport the fluids from the tissue site over at least a portion of the second lumen. 10. A multi-lumen applicator for delivering reduced pressure to a tissue site and receiving fluids, the multi-lumen applicator comprising: an applicator body having a distal end and a proximal end and formed with a plurality of apertures proximate the distal end for receiving fluid from the tissue site and for delivering reduced pressure;a first lumen fluidly coupled to the plurality of apertures;a first activation member having at least a closed position and an open position, the first activation member comprising a first frangible member that ruptures when activated; anda second lumen fluidly coupled to the plurality of apertures when the first activation member is in the open position but not when the first activation member is in the closed position, whereby when the first activation member is moved to the open position, the second lumen is fluidly coupled to the plurality of apertures. 11. The multi-lumen applicator of claim 10, wherein the first frangible member is activated when a pressure differential at the first frangible member exceeds a first threshold pressure differential. 12. The multi-lumen applicator of claim 10, wherein the first frangible member is activated when exposed to liquid for greater than a threshold time. 13. A method for providing reduced pressure to a subcutaneous tissue site, the method comprising: providing a multi-lumen applicator for distributing reduced pressure at the subcutaneous tissue site;wherein the multi-lumen applicator comprises: an applicator body formed with a plurality of apertures, a purge lumen, and a first lumen fluidly coupled to the plurality of apertures and to the purge lumen,an activation member operable to move from a closed position to an open position when activated, anda second lumen formed in the applicator body and fluidly coupled to the purge lumen when the activation member is in the open position;disposing the multi-lumen applicator proximate to the subcutaneous tissue site;removing fluids from the subcutaneous tissue site through the first lumen;activating the activation member of the multi-lumen applicator such that the second lumen is fluidly coupled to the purge lumen; andremoving fluids from the subcutaneous tissue site at least partially through the second lumen after activating the activation member. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the activation member comprises a frangible member that ruptures when exposed to a pressure differential greater than a first threshold pressure differential. 15. The method of claim 13, wherein the activation member comprises a frangible member that ruptures when exposed to a fluid. 16. The method of claim 13, wherein the activation member comprises a frangible member that ruptures when exposed to a liquid.
