The present disclosure provides a balloon dilation catheter that includes a handle (), a substantially rigid inner guide member () coupled to the handle, a shaft () arranged over the inner guide member, a balloon () coupled to the inner guide member, and a polymer ball tip () positioned at a distal end of the balloon. To treat a sinus drainage pathway of a subject using the balloon dilation catheter, the substantially rigid inner guide member is positioned into the drainage pathway of the sinus of the subject via a nasal passageway. The balloon is then inflated to expand or otherwise remodel the drainage pathway.
