The Morelli Antimicrobial Elastomeric Ligature Ties — Graphite Gray belong to the exclusive antimicrobial line, in which Morelli incorporates an antimicrobial additive into the polymer matrix. Graphite Gray is the dark neutral of the nine exclusive shades, for practices that want the additive without adding a color statement to the appliance.
