Abstract
A medical balloon may be configured by at least partially inflating the medical balloon and forming at least one primary wing in the balloon. The primary wing extends from a central portion of the balloon. The primary wing may be manipulated to form a T-shaped wing therefrom. The balloon may then be deflated and the T-shaped wings wrapped around the balloon.
