The wound drain has an integral pliable base member with an adhesive backing that affixes the drain to the patient's skin and holds it in place so that the drain line can be fitted into the wound cavity. The base member is shaped and configured to affix to the skin adjacent the wound cavity and has a domed top, tapered sides or “wings” and a substantially flat bottom surface. The pliable base member stretches and contorts so that it lies flat against the patient's skin and conforms around and into body creases and folds. The bottom of the base member is coated with an adhesive, which is covered by a removable non-stick backing.
