Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a bladder and method of manufacturing the bladder. The bladder includes a hollow body formed of a substantially flexible material and having an inner surface defining a cavity. The bladder also includes a plurality of ribs formed on the inner surface of the hollow body. The ribs extend substantially parallel with respect to a central longitudinal axis of the hollow body and are spaced circumferentially apart from one another. The bladder further includes a support brace positioned on the outer surface of the hollow body. A first end of at least some of the ribs includes a tapered portion being tapered toward the inner surface of the hollow body. The hollow body is self-supporting in any spatial orientation.
