Description
Gelatine Shoeprint Lifters 13 cm x 36 cm
Gelatine Shoeprint Lifters 13 cm x 36 cm Polyester provide forensic investigators with a practical method for recovering shoeprints, footwear impressions, dust marks and trace evidence. Their elongated format helps examiners capture a substantial section of a footwear impression in a single lift.
The flexible gelatine surface makes close contact with suitable substrates. As a result, tread patterns, dust deposits and other footwear characteristics can become easier to recover, examine and document.
Gelatine Shoeprint Lifters for Footwear Recovery
The elongated 13 cm x 36 cm format provides greater coverage than smaller fingerprint-sized lifters.
Therefore, investigators can recover more of an outsole pattern without positioning several separate sheets.
This can help preserve important footwear characteristics, including:
- Tread blocks
- Grooves
- Wear patterns
- Cuts and damage
- Fine dust impressions
- Other visible outsole features
Polyester Backed Shoeprint Lifters
The polyester backing provides support during handling and application.
This backing helps the investigator position the lifter accurately over the area of interest. Meanwhile, the flexible gelatine layer maintains close contact with the surface underneath.
As a result, the lifter combines practical handling with effective evidence recovery.
Long 13 cm x 36 cm Format
The 13 cm x 36 cm size suits longer footwear impressions and other elongated areas of evidence.
Its dimensions allow investigators to recover a substantial section of a shoeprint while maintaining good control during application.
In addition, the longer shape may assist with partial tyre tread marks, dust impressions and other larger areas of transferable evidence.
This format can also reduce the need to overlap several smaller lifting sheets.
Flexible Gelatine Surface
The gelatine layer follows small variations in the surface underneath. Therefore, it can make close contact with many suitable smooth, grained or lightly textured surfaces.
Its low-adhesive properties help collect transferable material while preserving visible impression 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 selecting the most appropriate recovery method.
Gelatine Shoeprint Lifters for Trace Evidence
Fine dust and particulate material may contain useful forensic information. Therefore, good contact between the lifting surface and the substrate can prove important.
The flexible gelatine layer helps collect transferable material while maintaining visible detail.
As a result, investigators can use these lifters for both evidence recovery and subsequent examination.
Forensic Photography and Documentation
Forensic photography plays an important role in recording footwear evidence.
Once investigators recover the impression, they can photograph and document the lifted mark for comparison and further examination.
The longer 13 cm x 36 cm format also provides enough surface area to capture a significant section of a footwear impression on one lifter.
Professional Footwear Impression Recovery
These polyester-backed gelatine lifters combine an elongated format with flexibility, controlled handling and effective evidence recovery.
They are 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 13 cm x 36 cm polyester-backed gelatine lifter provides a versatile addition to crime scene examination equipment.
Available from Tetra Scene of Crime International for professional forensic, laboratory and training applications.
