The gas bags are made from a gas-impermeable nylon-polyethylene laminate
and are heat-sealed. Tygon tubing is attached to each bag by a luer-lok
fitting, and the fitting on the other end of the tubing attaches directly
to the fitting on the leaf chamber. Once inflated, the bags should be
sealed with the clip provided. Bags should not be over-inflated as this
can cause weakening of the seams and eventual leakage. After use, bags
should be fully deflated, preferably by attachment to a vacuum-line. |
