Abstract
A fluid manifold may include a body that may include a proximal end, a distal end, and a primary manifold component extending from the proximal end of the body to the distal end of the body and enclosing a primary channel. The fluid manifold may further include at least one auxiliary manifold component diverging from the primary manifold component and enclosing an auxiliary channel connected to the primary channel at a primary channel exit port. The fluid manifold may further include at least one compression valve region disposed along the body of the manifold where the compression valve region may be operable between an open position and a closed position.
