The invention relates to a wound treatment device (100) with at least one elastically deformable vacuum-generating element which can be actuated directly by hand and which is arranged on and connected directly to a film-like wound-covering element (2) that covers the wound chamber (1). The vacuum-generating element is a hollow body (4.1) whose cavity (7), in the state with the device applied to the patient's body, communicates directly with the wound chamber (1) via an opening (3) formed on the wound-covering element (2). At least one absorption body (5) that absorbs the wound secretions is positioned in the wound chamber (1) and is surrounded by a finely porous sleeve (6) that is permeable to liquid. The hollow body (4.1) is provided with at least one valve (12).
A wound treatment device having at least one elastically deformable vacuum producing element, which can be operated directly by hand, arranged on a film-like wound cover element, which is adapted to cover a wound cavity in a patient's body, and which is adapted to be connected to the patient's body tubelessly, wherein the vacuum producing element is a hollow body having a cavity that is adapted to communicate with the wound cavity via an opening worked into the wound cover element when the wound cover element is placed on the patient's body, and wherein the wound treatment device further comprises at least one absorption body that is adapted to be placed in the wound cavity to absorb wound secretions, the absorption body being surrounded by a fine-pore, liquid-permeable envelope.
