Patent ID: 8211071

Claim:
A reduced-pressure treatment system for treating a tissue site on a patient, the system comprising: a gasket releasably attached around a perimeter of the tissue site, wherein the gasket comprises a gasket material, and wherein the gasket has a first side and a second, patient-facing side; a manifold sized and configured to be placed in contact with the tissue site; an over-drape positioned over the manifold and releasably sealed to the gasket by a bead of first adhesive between the over-drape and the first side of the gasket, and wherein the gasket is sealed to the patient's epidermis by a second adhesive between the second, patient-facing side of the gasket and the patient's epidermis, to create a sealed space between the over-drape and the tissue site, the over-drape comprising an elastomeric film, and wherein the first adhesive is weaker than the second adhesive; and a reduced-pressure source fluidly coupled to the sealed space to deliver reduced pressure to the tissue site.
