The present invention is directed to a disposal system for unused pharmaceuticals comprised of a container and bentonite clay affixed to one or more substrates. Further the present invention is directed to a disposal system for unused portions of a liquid fentanyl spray comprising a container and bentonite clay affixed to one or more substrates.
1 . A disposal system for unused pharmaceuticals comprising:
(a) a container comprising an opening and a closure to occlude the opening; and
(b) bentonite clay disposed in the container, wherein the bentonite clay is affixed to one or more substrates.
2 . The disposal system of claim 1 wherein the bentonite clay comprises sodium bentonite.
3 . The disposal system of claim 1 wherein sawdust is not disposed in the container.
4 . The disposal system of claim 1 wherein the one or more substrates are water and ethanol permeable.
5 . The disposal system of claim 1 wherein the bentonite clay is fixed to a first substrate.
6 . The disposal system of claim 1 wherein the bentonite clay is fixed between a first substrate and a second substrate.
7 . A disposal system for unused portions of a liquid fentanyl spray comprising:
(a) a container comprising an opening and a closure to occlude the opening; and
(b) a bentonite clay comprising sodium bentonite, wherein the bentonite clay is fixed between substrates wherein the substrates are permeable to water and ethanol.
8 . A method of disposing of unused portions of a liquid fentanyl spray comprising the steps of:
(i) actuating the liquid fentanyl spray device wherein the spray stream passes through the opening of a container and contacts bentonite clay disposed in the container; and
(ii) occluding the opening of the container with a closure, wherein the bentonite clay is affixed to one or more substrates.
9 . The method of claim 1 wherein the bentonite clay comprises sodium bentonite.
10 . The method of claim 1 wherein sawdust is not disposed in the container.
11 . The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more substrates are water and ethanol permeable.
12 . The method of claim 1 wherein the bentonite clay is fixed to a first substrate.
13 . The method of claim 1 wherein the bentonite clay is fixed between a first substrate and a second substrate.
