Post mortem Ink Pad

The Post-mortem Porelon Pad Inking Tool provides forensic professionals with a controlled method for applying fingerprint ink when recording friction ridge detail from deceased individuals.

The durable metal tool contains a 1.5 × 2 inch Porelon® Pad. It produces ultra-black, non-fading and permanent fingerprint impressions. The specialist ink dries within seconds, helping practitioners record clear ridge characteristics for examination, comparison and identification.

Post-mortem Porelon Pad Inking Tool for Fingerprint Recovery

Designed for professional post-mortem fingerprint procedures, this compact inking device allows the operator to apply ink directly to individual fingertips.

The Porelon® surface distributes ink evenly across the friction ridges. This controlled application helps prevent excessive ink while maintaining the strong contrast required for fingerprint examination.

Clear Post-mortem Friction Ridge Detail

Accurate friction ridge recording plays an important role in forensic identification. Clear impressions allow fingerprint specialists to examine individual ridge characteristics and compare them with existing records where appropriate.

The fast-drying ink also reduces the risk of smudging during the recording process.

Using the Inking Tool with a Print Spoon

Apply the ink evenly across the fingertip using the Porelon® Pad.

Next, place a Post-mortem Fingerprinting Strip securely within the four retaining tabs of a Post-mortem Print Spoon. Carefully press the prepared strip against the inked finger to record the available friction ridge detail.

The print spoon provides additional control and support during fingerprint recording. This can prove particularly useful when conventional fingerprinting techniques are difficult to perform.
