Gel Lift Black 18 x 36 cm

Description

Gel Lift Black 18 x 36 cm

Gel Lift Black 18 x 36 cm pack 10 provides forensic investigators with a practical method for recovering shoeprints, footwear impressions, dust marks and trace evidence. The wider 18 cm format gives examiners more coverage, while the 36 cm length suits longer footwear impressions and larger areas of evidence.

The jet-black gel surface creates strong contrast for light-coloured dust and particulate material. As a result, tread patterns, fine marks and other footwear characteristics can become easier to examine, photograph and document.

Black Gel Lift for Shoeprint Recovery

The Black Gel Lift offers a useful solution for recovering footwear impressions from suitable surfaces.

Its 18 x 36 cm format provides greater surface coverage than narrower lifters. Therefore, investigators can capture more of an outsole pattern in a single lift.

This can help preserve important footwear characteristics, including:

• Tread blocks
• Grooves
• Wear patterns
• Cuts and damage
• Fine dust impressions
• Other visible outsole features

Black Gel Lift for High-Contrast Evidence

The jet-black surface provides excellent contrast for lighter evidence.

Dust, powders and fine particulate material can stand out clearly against the dark background. Consequently, recovered shoeprints can display strong visual detail.

This makes the lifter useful for:

• Shoeprint examination
• Footwear comparison
• Dust mark recovery
• Crime scene photography
• Evidence documentation
• Forensic training

Suitable lighting can further improve the visibility of fine tread detail.

Wider 18 x 36 cm Format

The 18 x 36 cm size provides a larger working area for footwear impressions and other extended marks.

Its wider surface can help investigators recover a more complete section of a shoeprint while still maintaining good control during application.

In addition, the larger format may assist with partial tyre tread marks, dust impressions and other areas of transferable evidence.

This can reduce the need to overlap several smaller lifting sheets.

Flexible Gel Surface

The flexible gel layer follows small variations in the surface underneath. Therefore, it can make close contact with many suitable smooth, grained or lightly textured substrates.

Its low-adhesive properties help collect transferable material while preserving visible detail.

Typical applications include:

• Shoeprint lifting
• Footwear impression recovery
• Dust mark recovery
• Trace evidence collection
• Fine particulate recovery
• Partial tyre tread lifting
• Crime scene photography
• Forensic comparison work

Investigators should always assess both the surface and the evidence before choosing the most appropriate recovery method.

Black Gel Lift for Trace Evidence

Fine dust and particulate material may contain useful forensic information. Therefore, good contact between the gel and the substrate can prove important.

The flexible lifting surface helps collect transferable material while maintaining visible impression detail.

At the same time, the black background provides strong contrast for lighter material.

As a result, the Black Gel Lift can support both evidence recovery and subsequent visual examination.

Forensic Photography and Documentation

Forensic photography plays an important role in recording recovered footwear evidence.

The black surface can help tread patterns and light-coloured particulate material stand out clearly under suitable lighting. Consequently, investigators can photograph the recovered lift for documentation, comparison and further examination.

The 18 x 36 cm format also provides enough surface area to capture a significant section of a footwear mark on one lifter.

Professional Footwear Impression Recovery

The Gel Lift Black 18 x 36 cm combines a larger working area with flexibility, low adhesion and strong visual contrast.

It is suitable for Crime Scene Investigators, Scenes of Crime Officers, footwear specialists, forensic laboratories, universities, specialist search teams and forensic training organisations.

For professional shoeprint lifting, footwear impression recovery and trace evidence collection, the 18 x 36 cm black gel lifter provides a versatile addition to crime scene examination equipment.

Available from Tetra Scene of Crime International for professional forensic, laboratory and training applications.
