Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (i.e., either custom or standard kits) needed for gathering and preserving physical evidence following sexual assault. Items in these kits usually include gloves, combs, bags and sheets, swabs, blood collection tubes, clear glass slides, envelopes, nail picks, and labels. The kits are frequently supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Sexual assault forensic evidence procedure kits and trays are intended for collecting and preserving scientific evidence taken from victims during the investigation of sexual crimes for potential use in the legal system. They are used in hospitals, forensic laboratories, and in other healthcare facilities.
