A conformable wound dressing system is provided. The system includes a wound dressing and a dressing support layer. The wound dressing comprises a backing with two major surfaces, first and second lateral edges, an adhesive disposed on one major surface and the dressing support layer removably mounted on the other major surface. The dressing support layer comprises juxtaposed first and second sections that define a gap between them. Each section comprises a medial portion and at least four spokes extending therefrom toward a lateral edge. The at least four spokes comprise two outer spokes and at least two spaced-apart inner spokes. At least two of the at least four spokes of each section extend beyond the lateral edge to form peripheral support layer tabs.
