An embodiment of the present invention may be made by the following steps:
providing a mixture comprising a plurality of fibers, a lubricant, and a
suspension fluid, with the suspension fluid filling a void space between
said fibers and subjecting said mixture to at least one compressive
force. The compressive force causes the migration and alignment of said
fibers; and may remove substantially all of the suspension fluid from
said mixture. The mixture may further comprise a biologically active
agent, or a reinforcing agent.
