Fingernail Clippings Evidence Collection Kit

During an assault the victim's fingernail(s) may break off during the struggle. Our Fingernail Clippings Evidence Collection Kit is used to collect the remaining nail for comparison with the broken off fingernail found at the scene of the assault to confirm the victim's description of where the assault took place.

When the clipping(s) is submitted to the crime laboratory, trace amounts of the assailant's DNA may be found on the clipping and on the recovered broken nail as well.
