The present invention provides for a method and apparatus for treating a wound. In a preferred method, collagen is applied to a wound; a drain tube is placed adjacent the wound, and a wound dressing is applied over the collagen and the drain tube. The preferred method further includes the step of draining fluids from the wound through the drain tube, which tube has a proximal end positioned adjacent the wound and a distal end in fluid communication with a vacuum source. The fluids are drained from the wound by applying a negative pressure to the wound through the tube from the vacuum source.
