         6 . A content inflation and delivery system of  claim 1 , the fluid outlet being comprised of a male luer and the content inlet being comprised of a female luer configured for coupling to the male luer. 
     
     
         7 . A content inflation and delivery system of  claim 6 , the male luer including (a)(i) an outlet base portion with an outlet outer surface, and (a)(ii) an inner tubular portion with a threaded inner surface and an inner diameter; wherein the inner diameter is smaller than the base diameter; and the base diameter is smaller than the first end diameter and the second end diameter; and
 the female luer including (b)(i) an inlet base portion with an inlet base diameter; and (b)(ii) a threaded cannula configured to couple or engage the inner tubular portion of the male luer.   
     
     
         8 . The content inflation and delivery system of  claim 1 , further comprising a hollow lumen with a lumen inlet and a lumen outlet;
 wherein the hollow lumen travels through the hollow shaft; and   wherein the lumen inlet is proximal to the first end.   
     
     
         9 . The content inflation and delivery system of  claim 1 , including a track disposed on the inner surface of the container; wherein the shaft or fluid outlet includes a tab configured to slide within the track. 
     
     
         10 . The content inflation and delivery system of  claim 1 , wherein the content inlet and fluid outlet are configured to interface with each other to form a release mechanism;
 wherein responsive to the hollow shaft being rotated, the content inlet is released from the fluid outlet.   
     
     
         11 . The content inflation and delivery system of  claim 1 , further comprising a bag configured to encase the inflatable content, the bag including a rim end and an outlet end;
 wherein the rim end is open and coupled to the container's inner surface.   
     
     
         12 . The content inflation and delivery system of  claim 2 , comprising (i) a first prong coupled to a first portion of the conduit between the content inlet and the first balloon, and (ii) a second prong coupled to a second portion of the conduit between the content inlet and the second balloon;
 wherein the first prong and second prong are configured to create a Y, U or V shape.   
     
     
         13 . A content inflation and delivery system comprising:
 (1) a container including (a)(i) a first end with a first end diameter and a second end with a second end diameter, (a)(ii) an inner surface and an outer surface, and (a)(iii) a vertical axis between the first end and the second end;   (2) a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet;   wherein the fluid outlet is positioned between the fluid inlet and the second end; the fluid outlet is in fluid communication with the fluid inlet; and the fluid outlet is movable between the first end and the second end;   (3) an inflatable content configured to be housed within the container;   wherein the inflatable content is configured to move between the first end and the second end; and the inflatable content is positioned between the fluid outlet and the second end;   (4) a content inlet including an outer surface; wherein the content inlet is configured to couple to the fluid outlet and receive a fluid from the fluid outlet; and the content inlet is coupled to the inflatable content and is configured for delivering the fluid into the inflatable content.
