A delivery system for applying a wound dressing includes a thin film elastomeric wound dressing having a lower surface for application to the wound area and an upper surface, a release member releasably attached to the lower surface of the wound dressing, a delivery member including a lower surface releasably attached relative to the upper surface of the wound dressing and an upper surface, and being dimensioned to support the wound dressing and thereby facilitate application of the wound dressing to the wound area, and a tab member at least partially disposed between the wound dressing and the delivery member. The wound dressing defines a longitudinal axis and has longitudinal edges along the longitudinal axis and transverse edges traversing the longitudinal axis. The lower surface of the wound dressing may have a pressure sensitive adhesive for securing of the wound dressing relative to the wound area. The tab member is releasably attached relative to the lower surface of the delivery member. The tab member defines a manually engageable section free from releasable attachment to the lower surface of the delivery member and being dimensioned for manual engagement by a clinician to thereby facilitate removal of the tab member from the delivery member.
