Abstract: A cartridge for use in an aerosol delivery device, the cartridge including: an outer housing configured to contain at least an aerosolizable composition, the outer housing including an exit portal at a proximal end thereof for passage of an aerosol; and a bottom cap positioned at a distal end of the outer housing that is configured for insertion into a receiving chamber of a control device of the aerosol delivery device. The outer housing defines a front face portion and a rear face portion interconnected with sidewalls, wherein the front face portion has an asymmetrical configuration relative to the rear face portion, such asymmetrical configuration being effective such that the cartridge engages the control device of the aerosol delivery device in only a single orientation. A control device is also provided herein.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to medical devices, ligators, and methods for deploying ligation bands around a portion of tissue. In some embodiments, a medical device may include a plunger biasable within a first tube, the first tube including a band along a first tube distal end. The medical device may further include a second tube surrounding the first tube, the second tube comprising a second tube proximal end opposite a second tube distal end, wherein the second tube distal end includes an engagement member operable to dispense the band from the first tube in response to axial movement of the first and second tubes relative to one another.
