Abstract
A wound support () for use in the vacuum therapy of wounds, can be disposed in its intended use in a wound space underneath a vacuum dressing () sealing the wound space with respect to the atmosphere in an essentially vacuum-tight manner, wherein the wound space can communicate with a suction tube () to which a vacuum can be applied through an opening () in the vacuum dressing (). The wound support () comprises a flexibly compliant foamed material and has a through-hole () that extends in the direction of the wound depth, which is used to insert or pass through a wound-side end section () of a fluid feed tube (). A sleeve () is disposed in the through-hole () into which this end section () can be inserted.
