FIELD: medical engineering.
SUBSTANCE: device has porous cushion for covering wound, suction tube connecting the porous cushion to negative pressure source, container for collecting fluid exudate mounted between the porous cushion and negative pressure source and quickly separable connection member connecting the first portion of the suction tube directed towards the porous cushion and the second one directed towards the container, the connection member having two detachable but not interchangeable parts. The first portion of the suction tube has multi-cavity tube, one being usable for transferring action caused by suction upon the porous cushion and the other one serves for controlling pressure. The tube is rigidly attached to the container with one end, and to one of detachable parts with the other end. The detachable part has sealing means usable for connecting the cavities to the second portion of the suction tube providing air-proof connection.
EFFECT: easiness in making connection of wound to suction line; controlled pressure applied to the wound.
