Abstract: Self-adhesive wound suture plaster with a carrier material, especially in strip form, of an elastic knitted or woven fabric, sheet or nonwoven, which is characterized in that the carrier strip extends under the action of a pulling force and, after this action of force has ended, virtually returns completely to the original length.Preferably, the carrier strip undergoes a length extension of between about 2 and 10% under the action of a pulling force of 5 N/cm, a length extension of between about 5 and 15% at 10 N/cm and a length extension of between about 15 and 30% at 20 N/cm.
