The invention relates to an apparatus for applying negative pressure to a superficial wound in a mammal. The apparatus comprises: 1) a flexible porous pad, the porous pad comprising an open, intercommunicating cellular foam; 2) a connector for introduction of the negative pressure to the porous pad, the connector comprising a disc-like member having a lower face in contact with the porous pad and a spout opposite the lower face for connection to an end of a suction tube; 3) a surgical drape for forming a substantially air-tight seal over the porous pad, the connector and the wound site; and 4) a mufti-lumen suction tube having a center lumen and a plurality of outer lumens, for connecting the porous pad through the connector to a negative pressure source. The multi-lumen tube is adapted to allow fluid to be drawn from the wound via the center lumen while simultaneously allowing pressure at the wound site to be monitored via at least one of the plurality of outer lumens.
