A system for providing a force to a desired area on a curved body part of a person includes a dressing assembly shaped and configured to be placed on the desired area of the person, a releaseable circumferential member surrounding the curved body part that holds the dressing assembly against the desired area, a sealing subsystem for providing a fluid seal over the dressing assembly and the person's skin, and a reduced-pressure subsystem for providing a reduced pressure to the dressing assembly. When reduced pressure is supplied, the system generates the force against the desired area on the curved body part.

1. A system for providing a force to a desired treatment area on a curved body part of a person, the system comprising: a dressing assembly for placing on the desired treatment area of the person, the dressing assembly having a longitudinal portion with a first end and a second end;wherein the dressing assembly comprises: an interior surface member having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface; anda dressing bolster having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface, wherein the second, inward-facing surface of the dressing bolster is disposed against the first surface of the interior surface member;a releasable circumferential member coupled to the first end and second end of the dressing assembly, the releasable circumferential member adapted to releaseably couple the first end of the dressing assembly to the second end of the dressing assembly;a sealing subsystem for providing a fluid seal over the dressing assembly; anda reduced-pressure subsystem for providing a reduced pressure to the dressing assembly. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the dressing bolster is formed from a bolster material having a density greater than 25 kg/m3. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the dressing assembly further comprises an exterior surface member having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface, wherein the second, inward-facing surface of the exterior surface member is disposed against the first surface of the dressing bolster. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the interior surface member comprises an elastic material. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the interior surface member comprises spandex. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the dressing assembly comprises: an exterior surface member having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface, wherein the second, inward-facing surface of the exterior surface member is disposed against the first surface of the dressing bolster; andwherein the exterior surface member comprises an elastic material. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the dressing assembly further comprises: an exterior surface member having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface, wherein the second, inward-facing surface of the exterior surface member is coupled to the first surface of the dressing bolster. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the releasable circumferential member comprises: a joining element and a releasable fastener. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the sealing subsystem comprises: an over-drape that extends over the dressing assembly; anda sealing apparatus for providing the fluid seal between the person's epidermis and the over-drape. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the dressing assembly comprises: an exterior surface member sized to extend over the dressing bolster and having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface, wherein the second, inward-facing surface of the exterior surface member is disposed against the first surface of the dressing bolster;wherein the sealing subsystem comprises: an over-drape that extends over the dressing bolster, anda sealing apparatus for providing the fluid seal between the person's epidermis and the over-drape;wherein the reduced-pressure subsystem comprises: a reduced-pressure source for providing reduced pressure,a reduced-pressure interface coupled to the sealing subsystem, anda reduced-pressure delivery conduit for providing reduced pressure from the reduced-pressure source to the reduced-pressure interface. 11. A system for providing a force to a desired treatment area on a curved body part of a person, the system comprising: a dressing assembly, the dressing assembly having a longitudinal portion with a first end and a second end, the first end adapted to be coupled to the second end for releasably attaching the dressing assembly to the desired treatment area;wherein the dressing assembly comprises: an interior surface member having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface; anda dressing bolster having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface, wherein the second, inward-facing surface of the dressing bolster is disposed against the first surface of the interior surface member;a means for providing a fluid seal over the dressing assembly; anda means for providing reduced pressure to the dressing assembly. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the dressing assembly further comprises an exterior surface member having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface, wherein the second, inward-facing surface of the exterior surface member is disposed against the first surface of the dressing bolster. 13. The system of claim 11, wherein the interior surface member comprises an elastic material. 14. The system of claim 11, wherein the curved body part of the person is a torso. 15. A method for providing a force to a curved body part, the method comprising the steps of: placing a dressing assembly against a desired treatment area;wherein the dressing assembly has a longitudinal portion with a first end and a second end;releasably coupling the first end to the second end to hold the longitudinal portion of the dressing assembly against the patient in the desired treatment area;fluidly coupling a reduced-pressure source to the dressing assembly; andactivating the reduced pressure source to provide reduced pressure to the dressing assembly, whereby the dressing assembly is placed under reduced pressure and contracts to form a directed force. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the dressing assembly comprises a dressing bolster formed from a bolster material having a density greater than 25 kg/m3. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the dressing assembly comprises a dressing bolster formed from a bolster material having a density less than a density epidermis and wherein the directed force is a lifting force.
