Claim:
1. A reduced-pressure system for treating subcutaneous damaged tissue, the reduced-pressure system comprising: a shaped dressing bolster having an oblique extremity and formed from a porous foam medical bolster material, the shaped dressing bolster substantially sized to overlay the subcutaneous damaged tissue; an over-drape adapted to provide a fluid seal over the shaped dressing bolster and a portion of the patient's epidermis; a reduced-pressure source; a reduced-pressure interface coupled to the over-drape, the reduced-pressure interface configured for delivering reduced pressure to the shaped dressing bolster; a reduced-pressure delivery conduit fluidly coupling the reduced-pressure source and the reduced-pressure interface; wherein the over-drape is coupled to the oblique extremity of the shaped dressing bolster and adapted to contract under the influence of reduced pressure; and wherein the shaped dressing bolster is adapted to generate and evenly distribute a radial, compressive force when placed under reduced pressure.
