Their strength and elasticity make them useable on body areas such as the biceps, which expand and contract with movement. The fabric tapes are water resistant and come in a variety of widths, lengths, and styles which are designed to meet an assortment of bandaging needs. These tapes are comfortable and can be removed cleanly and painlessly and are also used for newborn babies.
