Abstract
A fused construct including a first end formed into a fused loop, a second end formed into a fused loop, and an intermediate part extending between the loops, wherein the loops and the intermediate part include at least one segment of elongated material. Each of the loops includes a joint region having overlapped portions of the elongated material, and a relatively thin layer of fused material from the overlapped portions. The fused material is characterized by a low degree of molecular orientation in the direction of a principal axis of the elongated material, and the overlapped portions are characterized by a high degree of molecular orientation in the direction of the principal axis.
