What is claimed is: 1. A wound therapy device, comprising: a suction head comprised of a plurality of channels for facilitating flow of fluids to an opening of said suction head, wherein said opening is adapted to connect to a suction tube; and wherein said channels are defined by a plurality of projections from said suction head, such that said projections are in contact with a wound surface. 2. The wound therapy device of claim 1, further comprising a surgical drape having an aperture coincident said opening, said surgical drape extending over a region, and overlapping beyond the perimeter of said suction head, and wherein said surgical drape comprises a flexible adhesive coated film adhered to said region of said suction head and a release-coated backing extending over said suction head and adhered to the overlapping portion of said surgical drape. 3. The wound therapy device of claim 2, further comprising a source of suction. 4. The wound therapy combination of claim 3, wherein said source of suction is a pump. 5. A wound therapy device, comprising: a suction head having a first face; a second face opposite said first face; an opening through said first face and through said second face; and a plurality of flow channels in fluid communication with said opening for facilitating flow of fluids to said opening. 6. The wound therapy device of claim 5 further comprising a surgical drape having an aperture coincident said opening, said surgical drape extending over a region of said first face, and overlapping beyond the perimeter of said first face. 7. The wound therapy device of claim 6 wherein said surgical drape comprises a flexible adhesive coated film adhered to said region of said first face and a release-coated backing extending over said second face and adhered to the overlapping portion of said surgical drape. 8. The wound therapy device of claim 7 further comprising a foam interposed between said second face and a wound. 9. The wound therapy device of claim 5 further comprising a source of suction in communication with said opening. 10. The wound therapy device of claim 9 wherein said source of suction is a pump. 11. The wound therapy device of claim 5 wherein said flow channels are defined by a plurality of projections from said second face.
