Gel Lifters 13cm X 36 cm Black

Description

Gel Lifters 13cm X 36 cm Black provide forensic investigators with a practical method for recovering shoeprints, footwear impressions, dust marks and trace evidence. Their elongated format helps investigators capture a substantial section of a footwear impression in a single lift.

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

Gel Lifters 13cm X 36 cm Black for Shoeprint Recovery

The elongated lifter offers greater coverage than smaller fingerprint-sized sheets. Therefore, investigators can recover more of an outsole pattern without positioning several separate lifters.

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 Lifters 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.

These black gel lifters can support:

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

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

Long 13 x 36 cm Format

The 13 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 can 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 when examining larger marks.

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 surfaces.

Its low-adhesive properties help collect transferable material without relying on a highly aggressive adhesive.

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.

Shoeprint Lifters for Trace Evidence Recovery

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 gel helps collect transferable material while maintaining visible detail. At the same time, the black background creates strong contrast for lighter evidence.

As a result, investigators can use these lifters for both evidence recovery and subsequent visual examination.

Forensic Photography and Documentation

Forensic photography plays an important role in documenting footwear evidence.

The black background can help recovered tread patterns stand out clearly under suitable lighting. Consequently, investigators can photograph the recovered impression for documentation, comparison and further examination.

The longer 13 x 36 cm format also provides enough surface area to record a significant section of a footwear mark on one lifter.

Professional Footwear Impression Recovery

These black gel lifters combine an elongated format with flexibility, low adhesion and strong visual contrast.

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 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.
