Adverse Environmental Conditions and Confined Spaces

OCEAN® Saline Nasal Spray: Confined Spaces

Confined spaces, including an aircraft cabin, can expose travelers to intense environmental allergens and/or contagious respiratory infections.  This can be a real problem for those bothered by pet dander (on the clothing of pet owners), dust and/or irritable odors (e.g., strong perfume, tobacco odor, etc.) emanating from those within close proximity.  Such irritation can cause inflammation of the lining of the nose and sinuses.  While frequent hand washing and the use of a mask may help, the latter can be uncomfortable, inconvenient and socially awkward.

Concerned about sinus inflammation while flying?

To best maintain hydration of the nose and sinuses, many frequent flyers:

• Keep well hydrated with intake of adequate fluids
• Avoid beverages that cause dehydration, such as coffee and alcohol
• Use saline nasal spray frequently during flights

For more than 30 years, OCEAN® Saline Nasal Spray has been the non-medicated nasal brand recommended most by doctors.  Since 1973 OCEAN® Saline Nasal Care products have earned the trust of health professionals and millions of people suffering from chronic nasal congestion, sinus congestion, dry nose, and irritated nasal passages resulting from allergies, sinusitis, sinus infections, colds, rhinitis, nasal surgery and more.

OCEAN Complete® Sinus Irrigation: Adverse Environmental Conditions

Working in indoor, dusty environments

If you are among the millions of people who work in a dusty, dirty environment, you may benefit from irrigating your sinuses with a commercially prepared saline nasal product.  While our nasal passages are equipped to protect our lungs from foreign particles, the conditions found in agricultural work, factories, mines, and other similar environments can overwhelm nasal membranes and inhibit the expulsion of dust, dirt, and other particles.

Saline sinus irrigation, or nasal wash, is an inexpensive way to cleanse the sinus and clear nasal membranes of foreign substances.  Since the 1980s, numerous clinical studies have focused on the use of saline solutions to irrigate sinus cavities.  For example, a peer-reviewed study published in 2003¹ stated that clinical evidence suggests saline irrigation is simple to use and well tolerated.  Moreover, as reported in The Journal of Family Practice in 2009, “saline irrigation spells relief for sinusitis sufferers.”

OCEAN Complete® Sinus Irrigation provides a convenient and easy to use two-in-one mechansism… A nasal saline therapy nozzle for nasal sinus irrigation and a saline mist nozzle for nasal moisturizing.  Utilizing an exclusive, sterile, non-medicated salt blend formula, the OCEAN Complete® sinus irrigation system is safe for frequent daily use.
