PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reduced-pressure treatment system for treating a wound on a patient.SOLUTION: A reduced-pressure treatment system 100 includes a composite manifold 108 that prevents or minimizes injury to a wound edge 109 in treating a wound 102 with reduced pressure. The composite manifold includes a perimeter manifold member 110 and an inboard manifold member 112. The perimeter manifold member is designed to not collapse substantially under reduced pressure in a therapy range. The perimeter manifold member is more rigid with respect to compressibility regarding pressure resistance than the inboard manifold member. A sealing member 111 is used to form a fluid seal over the wound, and a reduced-pressure subsystem 113 provides reduced pressure to the composite manifold. |
