Conformable wound dressing and delivery system

A medical article comprising:

• a wound dressing physically defined by a wound dressing perimeter having at least one concave feature that exhibits a local minimum, the wound dressing comprising:
• a backing having a first major backing surface and a second major backing surface;
• an adhesive on the second major backing surface;
• an absorbent pad having a first major pad surface and a second major pad surface, the first major pad surface proximate the second major backing surface, the absorbent pad defined by an absorbent pad perimeter,
• wherein the backing extends beyond the absorbent pad perimeter;
• a symmetry axis extending from the local minimum to the wound dressing perimeter opposite the local minimum;
• and
• a carrier comprising at least two carrier strands removably attached to the first major backing surface,
• wherein at least a portion of the carrier extends to the wound dressing perimeter,
• wherein the carrier overlies at least a portion of the absorbent pad, and
• wherein the carrier overlies at least a portion of the backing on each side of the symmetry axis but does not overlie the backing along the symmetry axis.
