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 treatment area on a patient, comprising: a dressing assembly for placing on the treatment area, comprising: a longitudinal portion with a first end and a second end,a dressing bolster having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface, andan envelope member surrounding the dressing bolster, wherein the envelope member comprises: an interior surface member having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface, wherein the second, inward-facing surface of the dressing bolster is disposed proximate the first surface of the interior surface member, andan 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 proximate the first surface of the dressing bolster; anda sealing subsystem for providing a fluid seal over the dressing assembly. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the interior surface member comprises an elastic material. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the interior surface member comprises spandex. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the exterior surface member comprises an elastic material. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the exterior surface member comprises spandex. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the dressing bolster comprises an anisotropic bolster material having a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis, and wherein an applied tension along the first axis causes a greater than 1:1 response of the anisotropic bolster material along the second axis. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the treatment area is a curved body part. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the force provided to the treatment area is a compressive force. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the dressing bolster comprises a bolster material having a density greater than 25 kg/m3. 10. The system of claim 1, further comprising a releasable connector coupled to the first end and the second end of the dressing assembly. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the releasable connector is adapted to releaseably couple the first end of the dressing assembly to the second end of the dressing assembly. 12. The system of claim 10, wherein the releaseable connector comprises a joining element and a releasable fastener. 13. The system of claim 1, wherein the first end of the dressing assembly is adapted to be coupled to the second end of the dressing assembly for releaseably attaching the dressing assembly to the treatment area. 14. The system of claim 1, wherein the sealing subsystem comprises: an over-drape that extends over the exterior surface member; anda sealing apparatus for providing a fluid seal over epidermis surrounding the treatment area and the over-drape. 15. The system of claim 14, further comprising a reduced-pressure subsystem, 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. 16. The system of claim 1, wherein the dressing assembly is operable to generate a directed force under reduced pressure. 17. The system of claim 1, wherein the dressing assembly is operable to generate a lifting force under reduced pressure. 18. A dressing assembly adapted to provide a force to a treatment area on a patient, comprising: a longitudinal portion with a first end and a second end, the first end and the second end adapted to releasably attach the dressing assembly to the treatment area;a dressing bolster having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface; andan envelope member surrounding the dressing bolster, wherein the envelope member comprises an interior surface member adapted to provide a barrier between the dressing bolster and the treatment area. 19. The dressing assembly of claim 18, wherein: the interior surface member has a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface, wherein the second, inward-facing surface of the dressing bolster is disposed proximate the first surface of the interior surface member; andthe envelope member 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 proximate the first surface of the dressing bolster. 20. The dressing assembly of claim 19, wherein the exterior surface member comprises an elastic material. 21. The dressing assembly of claim 19, wherein the exterior surface member comprises spandex. 22. The dressing assembly of claim 19, further comprising a sealing subsystem for providing a fluid seal over the dressing assembly, wherein the sealing subsystem comprises: an over-drape that extends over the exterior surface member; anda sealing apparatus for providing a fluid seal over epidermis surrounding the treatment area and the over-drape. 23. The dressing assembly of claim 22, further comprising a reduced-pressure subsystem, 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. 24. The dressing assembly of claim 18, wherein the interior surface member comprises an elastic material. 25. The dressing assembly of claim 18, wherein the interior surface member comprises spandex. 26. The dressing assembly of claim 18, wherein the dressing bolster comprises an anisotropic bolster material having a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis, and wherein an applied tension along the first axis causes a greater than 1:1 response of the anisotropic bolster material along the second axis. 27. The dressing assembly of claim 18, wherein the treatment area is a curved body part. 28. The dressing assembly of claim 18, wherein the force provided to the treatment area is a compressive force. 29. The dressing assembly of claim 18, wherein the dressing bolster comprises a bolster material having a density greater than 25 kg/m3. 30. The dressing assembly of claim 18, further comprising a releasable member coupled to the first end and the second end of the dressing assembly. 31. The dressing assembly of claim 30, wherein the releasable connector is adapted to releaseably couple the first end of the dressing assembly to the second end of the dressing assembly. 32. The dressing assembly of claim 30, wherein the releaseable connector comprises a joining element and a releasable fastener. 33. The dressing assembly of claim 18, wherein the dressing assembly is operable to generate a directed force under reduced pressure. 34.
