An inflated non-latex balloon includes at least two latex films that are
sealed together at their edges to define an encapsulation member; and an
inlet connected to the encapsulation member, wherein the encapsulation
member is inflated to a pressure substantially higher than a normal
inflating pressure recommended for a typical non-latex balloon and
wherein shape of the inflated non-latex balloon is substantially
different in comparison with the shape of the balloon if the balloon is
inflated to the normal inflating pressure. A method of inflating a
non-latex balloon involves over-inflating the non-latex balloon to a
pressure substantially higher than a normal inflating pressure
recommended for a typical non-latex balloon to achieve a desired shape.
