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.

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.

The present disclosure provides a medical device () comprising a friction member () configured to assist in controlling and/or limiting unintentional and/or undesirable movement between two releasably secured components () of the medical device. The releasably secured components may be part of a resistance assembly for holding a medical device actuator () in a particular position and/or to improve the ease of which the activator moves into one position versus another position.
