Patent ID: 8556871

Claim:
A reduced-pressure treatment system for treating a tissue site on a patient, the system comprising: a gasket for releasably attaching proximate the tissue site; a manifold sized and configured to be placed in contact with the tissue site; an over-drape placed over the manifold and sealed to the gasket to provide a sealed space between the over-drape and the tissue site; a reduced-pressure source operable to deliver reduced pressure to a sealed space; and a delivery conduit for fluidly coupling the reduced-pressure-source to the manifold; wherein the over-drape is sealed to the gasket by a bead of a first attachment apparatus between the over-drape and a first side of the gasket; wherein a second attachment apparatus is disposed on a second side of the gasket adapted for attachment proximate the tissue site; and wherein the first attachment apparatus is weaker than the second attachment apparatus.
