A pressure sensor configured for biological pressure measurement at a distal end portion of an elongated member comprises a dissolvable hydrophilic material coated on a surface of the pressure sensor. A guide wire for biological pressure measurement may include a tube extending along a longitudinal axis of the guide wire; and a pressure sensor for biological pressure measurement, at least a portion of the pressure sensor being mounted within the tube. The pressure sensor comprises a pressure sensor membrane facing a top side of the tube. A circumferential wall of the tube includes at least six openings: a first distal opening, a second distal opening located on a right side of the tube, a third distal opening located on a left side of the tube, a first proximal opening, a second proximal opening located on a right side of the tube, and a third proximal opening located on a left side of the tube. The first distal opening is larger than the second and third distal openings, and the first proximal opening is larger than the second and third proximal openings.

Described herein are methods of forming hydrogels comprising combining (a) a water-soluble polymer comprising thiol groups, and (b) a water-soluble metal salt in an aqueous solution. The hydrogels form rapidly. Hydrogels and related methods, uses, and products also are described.

A prosthetic heart valve includes annularly spaced commissure portions, each of which includes a tip. The stent is formed from a polymeric material, and is specifically configured to perform similarly to conventional metal stents. A first fabric covers each of the tips, and a second fabric covers the first fabric and remaining exposed portions of the stent. A first layer of tissue covers the second fabric, and a second layer of tissue overlies the second fabric. The second layer of tissue includes leaflet portions that extend inwardly between annularly adjacent ones of the commissure portions.
