The adjective 'inflated' is clearly formed from the verb 'inflate' + -ed with the literal sense of being filled with air.
Etymology
Uninflated is made of un- ('not') and inflate ('to fill with air'), the same root in inflatable. So uninflated simply means 'not filled with air', like a flat balloon.
