The Morelli Antimicrobial Elastomeric Pre-Loaded Canes — Caribbean Blue sit on the turquoise side of blue — saturated, clearly cool, and far from a neutral. The elastomer is produced with an antimicrobial additive in the polymer matrix, which the manufacturer states prevents the development and growth of fungi and bacteria, reduces stains and unwanted odors, and preserves the mechanical properties of the elastic.

Cool half of the board — a definite cool tone for patients who decline warm shades
Additive in the polymer matrix — the manufacturer states it prevents the development and growth of fungi and bacteria
Stains and odors — the manufacturer attributes reduced stains and unwanted odors to the additive
Properties and treatment — mechanical properties preserved and the material heat-treated for greater shape memory, according to the manufacturer

Clinical Applications
Ligation of the archwire in fixed appliances for patients who ask for a saturated cool tone
Treatments carried in one turquoise shade from bonding through finishing
A practice that keeps a strong cool option permanently on the board
How saturated should a cool tone be before it stops reading as blue?
Caribbean Blue holds its turquoise register on an elastomer made with the antimicrobial additive declared for this line.
