1. An apparatus for treatment of a wound, comprising:

  • a relatively liquid impermeable backing layer capable of forming a relatively fluid-tight seal or closure over a wound;

    a member comprising a flexible upper layer, a flexible lower layer, and a plurality of flow pathway arms, each flow pathway arm defining a flow path that is separate along its length from the flow paths defined by the other flow pathway arms, the member being positionable beneath the backing layer, wherein;

    the flow pathway arms are interconnected only at a center portion of the member; and

    the flow pathway arms each extend in a radial direction from the center portion of the member;

    a conduit in fluid communication with the flow pathway arms having an end portion configured to be mounted above the center portion of the member and configured to extend away from the backing layer; and

    a plurality of apertures formed in the lower layer the apertures being in communication with said flow pathway arms to provide a flow path between the wound and the member;

    wherein;

    the upper layer comprises an impervious membrane;

    the lower layer is sealed to the upper layer along at least a portion of a length of each of the flow pathway arms so as to provide a relatively fluid tight seal between a portion of the lower layer and a portion of the upper layer.
