https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/31562/fentanyl-patch Hello! Very silly question to ask. When we remove the fentanyl patch after wearing it for three days. how do we dispose it? Do we have to dipose it in Cytotoxic bin? Thanks :) en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174332?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 14 Mar 2019 17:20:30 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:46e76835-c470-4db4-845a-229e9c05a80cAndrea Tarr<p>Used patches should be folded so that the adhesive side of the patch adheres to itself and disposed of safely. There&#39;s still a lot of drug left in the patch after use.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174314?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 13 Mar 2019 18:49:09 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:7523b451-3cdb-4c90-ac26-558d1589ae24Victoria Holland<p>We place ours inside blue nitrile gloves, label the patients name/fentanyl dose/date on the gloves and then place into the DOOP bin.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174306?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 12 Mar 2019 13:26:13 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:13fd5901-d00c-4490-ac14-f859fe19b863Katie Germany<p>I have always folded in half and put into doop xx</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174299?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 Mar 2019 19:42:23 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:13cfced9-e749-410c-8ac4-4ffb25a1fe47Nick Shackleton <p>Technically they should go in the DOOP bin&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174298?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 Mar 2019 19:36:09 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:77550693-570c-4af4-b08e-a546233ad691Sal the 1st<p>used ones go in the bin apparently&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ouh.nhs.uk/patient-guide/leaflets/files/11743Pfentanyl.pdf">https://www.ouh.nhs.uk/patient-guide/leaflets/files/11743Pfentanyl.pdf</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>I have usually put mine in clinical waste when I have worked at practices using them</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
