A system for providing reduced-pressure treatment to a moveable tissue site, such as a joint, includes a flexible dressing bolster. The flexible dressing bolster has a first side and a second, inward-facing side, and a plurality of flexion joints formed on the flexible dressing bolster. The system further includes a sealing subsystem for providing a fluid seal over the flexible dressing bolster and the patient's epidermis and a reduced-pressure subsystem for delivering a reduced pressure to the sealing subsystem. The sealing subsystem and reduced-pressure subsystem are operable to deliver a reduced pressure to the moveable tissue site. The flexible dressing bolster is operable to allow articulation or movement of the moveable tissue site. The sealing subsystem may include a drape with folds. Other systems, apparatuses, and methods are presented.

1. A closing dressing bolster, the closing dressing bolster comprising: a bolster body having a first side, a second side, and a center wound area, the bolster body formed with a plurality of flexion joints on the first side of the bolster body;a first closing member extending from the second side of the bolster body on a first longitudinal side of the center wound area;a second closing member extending from the second side of the bolster body on a second longitudinal side of the center wound area; andwherein the first closing member and the second closing member are operable to develop an inward closing force when the closing dressing bolster is placed under reduced pressure. 2. The closing dressing bolster of claim 1, wherein the flexion joints are formed by slots formed through a portion of the bolster body on the first side. 3. The closing dressing bolster of claim 1, wherein the bolster body is formed from a transparent material. 4. The closing dressing bolster of claim 1, wherein the bolster body is formed from silicone. 5. A system for providing reduced-pressure treatment to a tissue site, the system comprising: a flexible dressing bolster;a drape at least partially covering the flexible dressing bolster, the drape comprising: a plurality of folds to facilitate bending of the tissue site;a first drape portion configured to cover the flexible dressing bolster and including the plurality of folds;a second drape portion having a treatment area aperture configured to receive the flexible dressing bolster, the first drape portion being configured to cover the treatment area aperture; andthe second drape portion further comprising release members releasably coupled to a perimeter portion of the second drape portion, the release members configured to increase stiffness of the second drape portion;a sealing apparatus configured to seal the drape to epidermis surrounding the tissue site; anda reduced-pressure source operable to deliver reduced pressure to the flexible dressing bolster. 6. The system of claim 5, further comprising an intermediate drape layer having an aperture and wherein a perimeter of the drape is coupled to the intermediate drape layer to at least partially enclose the flexible dressing bolster. 7. The closing dressing bolster of claim 1, further comprising at least one aperture formed in the first side of the bolster body to receive reduced pressure. 8. The closing dressing bolster of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of apertures formed on the second side of the bolster body for fluid communication with a tissue site. 9. The closing dressing bolster of claim 1, further comprising: at least one aperture formed in the first side of the bolster body to receive reduced pressure; anda plurality of apertures formed on the second side of the bolster body for fluid communication of reduced pressure with a tissue site. 10. The closing dressing bolster of claim 1, wherein the bolster body further comprises: a central compartment extending longitudinally through the bolster body;a shelf portion positioned adjacent and parallel to the central compartment so that the central compartment is configured to collapse onto the shelf portion; anda treatment trough having oblique walls positioned adjacent and parallel to the shelf portion, the treatment trough configured to be placed over a tissue site so that the oblique walls pull toward one another in response to reduced pressure. 11. The system of claim 5, further comprising a comfort layer coupled to the flexible dressing bolster. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the comfort layer comprises a woven elastic material. 13. The system of claim 11, wherein the comfort layer comprises a polyester knit textile substrate. 14. The system of claim 5, wherein the flexible dressing bolster comprises a plurality of flexibility notches. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein the flexibility notches are lateral cuts. 16. The system of claim 5, wherein in the first drape portion further comprises a drape extension configured to couple to at least a portion of the second drape portion surrounding the treatment area aperture. 17. The system of claim 5, wherein the folds comprise bellows. 18. The system of claim 5, wherein the plurality of folds are configured to increase a dimension of the drape in response to movement of the tissue site.
