A device is formed by the process into a bone screw or fastener, wherein
the head has a degree of polymer alignment and strength, and wherein the
shank has a higher degree of polymer alignment and strength. In practice
of the present invention, the polymer slug is pressed into the die cavity
by the actuation of ram press, causing the slug to conform to the die
cavity. Through this process, the polymer molecular orientation is
aligned to different degrees, in different zones of the device.
