Latex setLatex cast of a finger tipNilodor bottle and packageTissue builder and tissue builder solvent

It is often not a simple task to take post-mortem fingerprints from skin surfaces damaged by burns, burial, or decomposition. In these cases, the latex set can be a good alternative for the more traditional methods. With the fluid latex, an accurate cast of the skin can be made, even when little skin or dermis is still present. Several methods can be used to make prints of the latex cast.

Cat. No. F-26000
Latex set, consists of 1 glass bottle with 150 ml latex, 1 glass bottle with 150 ml coagulant, 2 jars for use when casting, a pair of rubber gloves and a set of instructions.
 

Cat. No. F-105000
Nilodor, odor neutralizer in a drop-bottle (7.5 ml = about 200 drops). One single drop can mask unpleasant odors in a room.
 

To take fingerprints of wrinkled fingers (e.g., with a mummified body or one that has been immersed in water for some time), Tissue Builder can be used to expand the finger to the normal volume.

Tissue Builder is injected under the skin above the first joint of the finger(s) to be printed. String tied around the first joint will keep the solution in the proper area. Tissue Builder Solvent is used as cleaning solvent and as a diluant.
