Fentany patches are designed for trandermal use, not intravenous injection. Thus, fentanyl solutions applied to transdermal patches during the manufacturing process does not warrant homogenous distribution. For example, a top corner may contain little fentanyl, while the center of the patch may contain significantly higher concentrate.
