Zusammenfassung:	Abstract An apparatus for treating a wound with negative pressure wound therapy, comprising a stabilizing structure for insertion into or over a wound, the stabilizing structure configured to collapse under negative pressure, wherein the stabilizing structure has an elliptical shape with a minor axis corresponding to a transverse axis and a major axis corresponding to a longitudinal axis and further comprises a plurality of cells wherein each cell is defined by one or more walls, each cell having a top end and a bottom end with an opening extending through the top and bottom ends; wherein one or more of the plurality of cells of the stabilizing structure collapse along a width direction parallel to the transverse axis upon application of negative pressure to the stabilizing structure, each cell having a length and a width; and wherein the stabilizing structure has outer walls with the elliptical shape having sections at opposite longitudinal ends of the stabilizing structure that curve inward to the longitudinal axis.
