Claim: 1. A dressing system, comprising: a first support, a second support, and a primary bending region therebetween, the primary bending region comprising a primary bending axis; and a treatment device comprising a first attachment region attached to the first support and a second attachment region attached to the second support, a first separation region configured to separate from first attachment region and a second separation region configured to separate from the second attachment region.
Claim: 2. The dressing system of claim 1, wherein the first and second separation regions comprise perforations.
Claim: 3. The dressing system of claim 2, further comprising a pull element located along the perforations.
Claim: 4. The dressing system of claim 1, wherein the treatment device is asymmetrically attached to the first and second supports, relative the primary bending region.
Claim: 5. The dressing system of claim 1, wherein a first distance between the first support and the primary bending axis is different from a second distance between the second support and the primary bending axis.
Claim: 6. The dressing system of claim 1, wherein the dressing system comprises a closed configuration wherein the treatment device is located between the first support and the second support, and a closed configuration wherein the second support is located between the first support and the treatment device.
Claim: 7. The dressing system of claim 1, wherein the second support comprises at least one secondary bend region comprising a secondary bending axis that is not parallel to the primary bending axis.
Claim: 8. The dressing system of claim 7, wherein the secondary bending axis is orthogonal to the primary bending axis.
Claim: 9. The dressing system of claim 7, wherein the first support comprises at least one secondary bend region comprising a secondary bending axis that is not parallel to the primary bending axis.
Claim: 10. The dressing system of claim 9, wherein the at least one secondary bend region of the first support is aligned with the at least one secondary bend region of the second support.
Claim: 11. The dressing system of claim 1, wherein the treatment device further comprises a release liner coupled to an adhesive surface of the treatment device.
Claim: 12. The dressing system of claim 1, wherein the treatment device comprises a perforation region.
Claim: 13. The dressing system of claim 12, further comprising an elongate element attached adjacent to the perforation region.
Claim: 14. The dressing system of claim 13, wherein the elongate element protrudes beyond the perforation region of the treatment device.
Claim: 15. The dressing system of claim 13, wherein at least a portion of the elongate element is folded.
Claim: 16. The dressing system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second supports comprises indicia identifying a center region of the treatment device.
Claim: 17. The dressing system of claim 16, wherein the indicia comprises a recessed edge, ink mark, embossing, or window.
Claim: 18. The dressing system of claim 1, wherein the primary bending region is perforated.
Claim: 19. The dressing system of claim 18, wherein the first support is configured to detach from the second support and the treatment device.
Claim: 20. The dressing system of claim 19, wherein the first support is configured to detach from the second support and the treatment device while maintaining the treatment device in a strained configuration.
Claim: 21. The dressing system of claim 1, wherein the second support comprises an adhesive element configured to adhere to the treatment device when the dressing system is in the open configuration but not in the closed configuration.
Claim: 22. The dressing system of claim 1, wherein the first support comprises an attached release liner.
Claim: 23. The dressing system of claim 22, wherein the release liner is attached to the first support between an outer edge of the first support and the attached treatment device.
