A wound support (50) for use in the vacuum therapy of wounds, can be disposed in its intended use in a wound space underneath a vacuum dressing (6) sealing the wound space with respect to the atmosphere in an essentially vacuum-tight manner, wherein the wound space can communicate with a suction tube (10) to which a vacuum can be applied through an opening (20) in the vacuum dressing (6). The wound support (50) comprises a flexibly compliant foamed material and has a through-hole (54) that extends in the direction of the wound depth, which is used to insert or pass through a wound-side end section (44) of a fluid feed tube (40). A sleeve (56) is disposed in the through-hole (54) into which this end section (44) can be inserted.
