Pressure control systems/sub-systems that improve an operation and safety of dynamically rigidizing devices may control an application of pressure to rigidize/de-rigidize a pressure-rigidizing medical device. Described herein are apparatuses and methods for rigidizing and maintaining rigidization using over-pressurized, transient pulses for the pressure-rigidizing medical device. The apparatuses and methods may rigidize and/or de-rigidize more rapidly and effectively.
