The Morelli Antimicrobial Elastomeric Pre-Loaded Canes — Petroleum Blue are a deep blue-green — dark enough to behave like a neutral, cool enough to still read as a color. The elastomer is made with an antimicrobial additive in the polymer matrix; according to the manufacturer it prevents the development and growth of fungi and bacteria, reduces stains and unwanted odors, and preserves the mechanical properties of the elastic.
