Claim:
1. A reduced-pressure bridge for treating a tissue site, comprising: a delivery manifold; an encapsulating envelope at least partially enclosing the delivery manifold and having a patient-facing side; an interface site formed at a second end of the reduced-pressure bridge, wherein the second end is adapted to be positioned at a remote location from the tissue site; an aperture formed at a first end of the reduced-pressure bridge on the patient-facing side of the encapsulating envelope, wherein the first end of the reduced-pressure bridge is located at an opposite end of the reduced-pressure bridge from the second end of the reduced-pressure bridge, and wherein the delivery manifold is configured to communicate reduced pressure from the interface site at the second end of the reduced-pressure bridge along a length of the patient-facing side and through the aperture at the first end of the reduced-pressure bridge to a treatment manifold external to the reduced-pressure bridge; and an adhesive on the first end for fluidly coupling the reduced-pressure bridge to the treatment manifold proximate to the tissue site.
