Post-mortem Fingerprinting Kit

Restore. Ink. Record. When conventional fingerprinting becomes difficult due to tissue changes after death, a purpose-built post-mortem workflow can make the difference. This Master Post-mortem Fingerprinting Kit is designed to support the collection of usable fingerprints from deceased subjects, including solutions intended for post-mortem restoration of deflated finger bulbs.

As a “Master Kit”, it is supplied in a durable Master Crime Scene Kit Case (manufacturer states a lifetime warranty), and the consumable components can be replenished individually to keep the kit operational and ready for repeat deployments.
