Systems, apparatuses, and methods for closing an opening through a surface of a tissue site are described. The system includes a sealing member adapted to cover the opening to form a sealed space and a negative-pressure source adapted to be fluidly coupled to the sealed space to provide negative pressure to the sealed space. The system also includes a contracting layer adapted to be positioned adjacent the opening and formed from a material having a firmness factor and a plurality of holes extending through the contracting layer to form a void space. The holes have a perforation shape factor and a strut angle causing the plurality of holes to collapse in a direction substantially perpendicular to the opening. The contracting layer generates a closing force substantially parallel to the surface of the tissue site to close the opening in response to application of the negative pressure.

1. A system for closing an opening through a surface of a tissue site, the system comprising: a sealing member adapted to cover the opening to form a sealed space;a negative-pressure source adapted to be fluidly coupled to the sealed space to provide negative pressure to the sealed space;a protective layer adapted to be positioned over the opening in the sealed space; anda contracting layer adapted to be positioned adjacent the protective layer in the sealed space, the contracting layer comprising: a compressed foam having a plurality of pores and a firmness factor between about 3 and about 5, anda plurality of holes extending through the contracting layer: each hole forming a void space in the contracting layer, and the void space percentage of the contracting layer being between about 40% and about 60%,each hole having a perforation shape factor between about 0.5 and about 2,each hole having a strut angle between about 30° and about 70°, andin response to the application of negative pressure, the void space percentage, the perforation shape factor, and the strut angle are configured to collapse the plurality of holes to collapse the contracting layer in a first direction, a second direction perpendicular to the first direction remaining un-collapsed, and the contracting layer generating a closing force substantially parallel to the surface of the tissue site to close the opening. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of holes have an average effective diameter of about 5 mm. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of holes are formed in two or more parallel rows. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein a thickness of the contracting layer is about 15 mm. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein a shape of each hole of the plurality of holes is hexagonal. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein a shape of each hole of the plurality of holes is elliptical. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein a shape of each hole of the plurality of holes is circular. 8. An apparatus for closing an opening through a surface of a tissue site, the apparatus comprising: a compressed foam having a plurality of pores and a firmness factor between about 3 and about 5;a plurality of holes extending through the compressed foam: each hole forming a void space, the void space percentage of the compressed foam being between about 40% and about 60%,each hole having a perforation shape factor between about 0.5 and about 2,each hole having a strut angle between about 30° and about 70°, andin response to an application of negative pressure to the compressed foam, the void space percentage, the perforation shape factor, and the strut angle are configured to collapse the plurality of holes, causing the compressed foam to collapse in a first direction, a second direction perpendicular to the first direction remaining un-collapsed. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein each of the plurality of holes has an average effective diameter of about 5 mm. 10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the plurality of holes are formed in two or more parallel rows. 11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein a thickness of the contracting layer is about 15 mm. 12. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein a shape of each of the plurality of holes is hexagonal. 13. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein a shape of each hole of the plurality of holes is elliptical. 14. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the shape of each hole of the plurality of holes is circular. 15. A method for closing an opening through a surface of a tissue site, the method comprising: positioning a contracting layer adjacent to and covering the opening;the contracting layer comprising: a compressed foam having a plurality of pores and a firmness factor between about 3 and about 5, a plurality of holes extending through the compressed foam each hole forming a void space, the void space percentage being between about 40% and about 60%,each hole having a perforation shape factor between about 0.5 and about 2,each hole having a strut angle between about 30° and about 70°, andthe void space percentage, the perforation shape factor, and the strut angle being configured to collapse the plurality of holes in a first direction, a second direction perpendicular to the first direction remaining un-collapsed; andcollapsing the contracting layer parallel to the surface of the tissue site to generate a closing force. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising: positioning a sealing member over the contracting layer;sealing the sealing member to tissue surrounding the tissue site to form a sealed space; andfluidly coupling a negative-pressure source to the sealed space. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein collapsing the contracting layer comprises: supplying negative pressure to the sealed space with the negative pressure source. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein collapsing the contracting layer comprises: supplying negative pressure to the contracting layer. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein collapsing the contracting layer comprises: collapsing each of the plurality of holes of the contracting layer in response to a supply of negative pressure; anddrawing edges of the contracting layer toward a center of the contracting layer in response to the collapse of each of the plurality of holes of the contracting layer.
