A connecting device (2) for use for the treatment of wounds with vacuum, comprises a conduit means (4) which can be loaded with vacuum, and an extensive vacuum-tight first carrier means (6) for the conduit means (4) on which the conduit means (4) is held in a vacuum-tight fashion, wherein the carrier means (6) can be disposed onto a vacuum dressing which extends over the wound and tightly seals it from the atmosphere. The conduit means (4) communicates with the wound space through at least one opening (14) in the wall of the conduit means (4) facing the vacuum dressing and through at least one opening in the vacuum dressing. The connecting device is improved in that the conduit means (4) is flexible and flat and a broad recess (10) is formed in the first carrier means (6), the width of which is at least as large as the width of the conduit means (4) and the length of which is at least 15 mm, and the conduit means (4) flatly spreads out into this recess (10) and thereby directly faces the vacuum dressing via this recess (10) during use, such that the at least one opening (14) in the conduit means (4) directly communicates with the at least one opening in the vacuum dressing. |
