Great topic. I have this sort of problem with my trainees. I don’t know why but almost every trainee does it. I think it the open fingers (the claw) goes back to very early on when we look for something . We use our open fingers to sweep the area. Example: dropped a small item on the floor , we use the fingers to scan a wider area.

I teach my trainees to keep the fingers closed while pat searching. It is easier to find items that the wide fingers would miss.

Even though black latex gloves look cool, light color gloves hep with finding blood easier.
