    Blairex Brand Growth

    In 1992, Blairex purchased the rights to the 100-year-old Pertussin® trademark adding the cough medication to the product line.

    From customer suggestions and the technology from Broncho Saline, Blairex launched a new product in 1997, called Wound Wash Saline®. Wound Wash Saline is a sterile saline solution used to clean minor abrasions to pressure ulcers, and quickly became the cleaning solution of choice among health care facilities and first-aid consumers.

    In October of 1999, Blairex doubled its size with the acquisition of fifteen over-the-counter brands, from a major pharmaceutical company. This acquisition increased the Blairex product line to encompass a variety of products ranging from sleeping aids to women’s health care products.

    Blairex continued to expand its saline product lines by utilizing its expertise and relationships in the market by launching Simply Saline Nasal Mist in 1999. After years of hardwork and providing consumers with a consistently superior product, Simply Saline Nasal Mist became the number one, non-preserved, sterile nasal mist in the country.
