An apparatus for promoting granulation and epithelialization at a tissue site having a substantially gas impermeable, flexible mat. A plurality of projections extend from a surface of the substantially gas impermeable, flexible mat, and each projection has a first end connected to the surface and a second end opposing the first end. A flexible membrane is positioned adjacent the second end of at least a portion of the plurality of projections and the flexible membrane is sufficiently flexible to allow deformation of the flexible membrane by the at least the portion of the plurality of projections when a biasing force exerted on the substantially gas impermeable, flexible mat or the plurality of projections is greater than or equal to a threshold force.

1. An apparatus for dressing a wound, comprising: a substantially gas impermeable, flexible mat;a plurality of projections extending from a surface of the substantially gas impermeable, flexible mat, each projection having a first end connected to the surface and a second end opposing the first end;
1. An apparatus for dressing a wound, comprising: a substantially gas impermeable, flexible mat;a plurality of projections extending from a surface of the substantially gas impermeable, flexible mat, each projection having a first end connected to the surface and a second end opposing the first end; anda flexible membrane positioned adjacent the second end of at least a portion of the plurality of projections, the flexible membrane being deformable by the at least a portion of the plurality of projections when a biasing force exerted on the substantially gas impermeable, flexible mat or the plurality of projections is greater than or equal to a threshold force, wherein the flexible membrane comprises a smooth surface adapted to promote epithelialization if the biasing force is less than the threshold force and a valve associated with at least one of the plurality of projections to present the smooth surface when the biasing force is less than the threshold force. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the substantially gas impermeable, flexible mat includes a plurality of channels to allow passage of fluids through the substantially gas impermeable, flexible mat. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the plurality of projections are hollow. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the plurality of projections are bioabsorbable. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the flexible membrane is hydrophilic. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the flexible membrane includes microperforations configured to expand as the flexible membrane is deformed to allow for a transmission of pressure and fluid. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a deformation of the flexible membrane presents a rough, porous surface. 8. An apparatus for promoting granulation and epithelialisation at a tissue site, the apparatus comprising: a mat having an inner chamber and a plurality of recesses disposed on a first surface of the mat; andan extendable projection positioned within each recess and configured to extend from the recess when a pressure (p1) within the inner chamber is greater than a pressure (p2) in the recess;wherein the inner chamber is sealed to maintain a static fluid volume. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the extendable projection includes a telescoping configuration. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the telescoping configuration includes a first section, a second section, and a third section, and wherein the third section extends beyond the first surface of the mat, the second section extends beyond the third section, and the first section extends beyond the second section when the pressure (p1) within the inner chamber is greater than the pressure (p2) in the recess. 11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the plurality of recesses includes a bellows configuration. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the bellows configuration includes at least one sidewall with a plurality of interleaved bends. 13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the bellows configuration includes at least one corrugated sidewall. 14. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the bellows configuration includes at least one sidewall with a plurality of furrows. 15. The apparatus of claim 8 further comprising a flexible membrane positioned to cover at least a portion of the plurality of recesses. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the flexible membrane includes a plurality of microperforations. 17. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the apparatus is configured to present a rough surface to the tissue site when the pressure (p1) within the inner chamber is greater than the pressure (p2) in the recess, and wherein the apparatus is configured to present a smooth surface to the tissue site when the pressure (p1) within the inner chamber is less than the pressure (p2) in the recess. 18. The apparatus of claim 8 further comprising a pressurization unit for changing the pressure (p1) within the inner chamber. 19. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein: the mat is adapted to be positioned at the tissue site and sealed beneath a drape; andapplication of reduced pressure to a sealed space beneath the drape results in extending the extendable projection from the recess. 20. A wound dressing comprising: a mat that is substantially gas impermeable and flexible;a flexible membrane; anda plurality of projections extending from the mat to the flexible membrane;wherein the flexible membrane comprises a valve associated with at least one of the plurality of projections to present a smooth surface when a biasing force on the plurality of projections is less than a threshold force.
