Black 4''x4'' Hinge Lifters

The Black 4''x4'' Hinge Lifters by Sirchie are precision-engineered forensic evidence collection tools designed for crime scene investigators, law enforcement agencies, and forensic laboratories. These compact lifters are specifically sized to capture multiple fingerprints or complete full palm prints from crime scenes, enabling investigators to preserve and document crucial evidence with clarity and precision.

Engineered with a 4-inch by 4-inch format, these hinge lifters feature a hinged design that allows controlled lifting and repositioning of latent fingerprint evidence without smudging or contamination. The black construction provides optimal contrast for photographing and documenting lifted prints, making details immediately visible for database entry and comparison. This design minimizes handling time at the scene while maximizing the quality of evidence preservation, critical for chain-of-custody protocols and courtroom admissibility.

Forensic professionals rely on these lifters for processing smooth surfaces at crime scenes—countertops, mirrors, windows, and vehicle interiors—where latent prints are most prevalent. The lightweight design (0.22 lbs) ensures investigators can carry multiple units in evidence kits without burden, making them ideal for multi-scene operations or high-volume evidence collection. Compatible with standard forensic evidence workflows, these lifters work seamlessly with fingerprint tape, powder, and digital documentation systems used across state and federal law enforcement agencies.
