摘要：Sinusitis and other disorders of the ear, nose and throat are diagnosed and/ortreated using minimally invasive approaches with flexible or rigid instruments. Variousmethods and devices are used for remodeling or changing the shape, size or

configuration of a sinus ostium or duct or other anatomical structure in the ear, nose orthroat; implanting a device, cells or tissues; removing matter from the ear, nose or throat;delivering diagnostic or therapeutic substances or performing other diagnostic ortherapeutic procedures. Introducing devices (e.g., guide catheters, tubes, guidewires,elongate probes, other elongate members) may be used to facilitate insertion of workingdevices (e.g. catheters e.g. balloon catheters, guidewires, tissue cutting or remodelingdevices, devices for implanting elements like stents, electrosurgical devices, energyemitting devices, devices for delivering diagnostic or therapeutic agents, substancedelivery implants, scopes etc.) into the paranasal sinuses or other structures in the ear,nose or throat. Specific devices (e.g., tubular guides, guidewires, balloon catheters,tubular sheaths) are provided as are methods for manufacturing and using such devicesto treat disorders of the ear, nose or throat.
