A portal member (46) affixed to the backing layer (44) provides a connection to a reduced pressure source through an 1o opening in an ambient surface (56a). A primary port (70) extends between the opening and a primary aperture (64) in a reservoir surface to providing fluid communication between the reservoir (14) and the reduced pressure source. At least one supplemental port (72) establishes fluid communication between the primary port (70) and a supplemental aperture (74) in the reservoir surface (54) that is distinct and substantially is spaced from the primary aperture (64).1/3 1 16 28 24 18 56 50 12 .r44 58 ' 38 'O 34 * Qi 'I" I-s Own FIG. i
