Abstract
A bladder assembly including an inflatable bladder having an elongated body defining an internal volume, the body being formed as a layered structure that includes an elastomeric layer defining an interior surface of the body, a friction-reducing layer defining an exterior surface of the body, and a jacketing layer positioned between the elastomeric layer and the friction-reducing layer, and a pressurized fluid source in selective fluid communication with the internal volume of the body.
