1. A dressing assembly, comprising:

  • a first support structure having a first surface;

    a second support structure having a second surface opposite to the first surface with respect to a primary bending region, wherein the first support structure is movably coupled to the second support structure at the primary bending region, the primary bending region comprising a primary bending axis;

    an elastic dressing comprising a first edge region removably coupled to the first surface of the first support structure, and a second edge region removably coupled to the second support structure; and

    a tensioning structure coupling the second edge region of the dressing to the second support structure;

    wherein the first support structure and second support structure are configured to move with respect to each other about the primary bending axis from a first position, wherein the second surface of the second support structure interfaces with and is substantially parallel to the first surface of the first support structure and the dressing is in a relaxed configuration, to a second position wherein the first support structure and second support structure are sufficiently rigid to exert a predetermined strain on the dressing in a strained configuration.
