Abstract

A device (400) for dilating an ostium of a paranasal sinus of a human or animal subject may include: a handle (402); an elongate shaft (414) having a proximal end coupled with the handle and extending to a distal end; a guidewire (410) disposed through at least a portion of the shaft lumen; a dilator having a non-expanded configuration and an expanded configuration; and a slide member (406) coupled with at least one of the guidewire or the dilator through the longitudinal opening (408) of the shaft for advancing the guidewire and/or the dilator relative to the shaft.
