Re: Surgical tubing stretched too far

Another option, we went with the fitness bands. Find the force and corresponding diameters that work for your application and have fun. Our experience was a band reached its "advertised" force at approximately twice its original length. The brand carried by the chain sporting goods stores around here sells them in increments up to 100 lbs.
