  • Patent number: 10687690
    Abstract: A dilation catheter system comprises a guide member, a dilation catheter, and an image sensor. The guide member includes a shaft comprising a distal end and a proximal end. The shaft further defines a longitudinal axis. The dilation catheter is movable relative to the guide catheter member and comprises an expandable dilator. The expandable dilator is sized to fit within one or both of a Eustachian tube or a passageway associated with a paranasal sinus. The image sensor is configured to provide visualization within anatomy of a patient. The image sensor is integral with the guide member.

  • Publication number: 20190192177
    Abstract: A guidewire includes an elongate tube, a connector, a sensor, and a conduit. The elongate tube includes a proximal portion and a distal portion. The elongate tube has a tubular profile with a substantially smooth surface extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion. The distal portion has an outer diameter sized to fit within a drainage passageway of a paranasal sinus. The elongate tube is formed of a material configured to tolerate sterilization. The connector is configured to communicate with a navigation system. The elongate tube is rotatable relative to the connector. The conduit extends from the connector to the sensor. The conduit is configured to communicate a signal from the sensor to the connector.
