Abstract

The invention relates to a therapeutic device to promote the healing of a wound, comprising a cover around the wound to form an essentially airtight cover over the wound, whereby a liquid-permeable pad is preferably provided between the wound and cover, a drainage line connecting the cover with a suction pump so that the wound can be suctioned to draw the fluids from it, and a connector to connect the cover with the drainage line, whereby the connector is provided with an opening to connect the proximal end of the drainage line to the wound, with which a more solid connection is guaranteed between the cover and the drainage line, which however at the same time has sufficient elasticity to conform to the respective body form and/or shape of the wound. It is also proposed that the connection contain fastening sections which extend from an area radiating from the opening to the area near the outer edge of the cover and which are separated from each other by notches.
