The disclosure describes methods of making collagen based biocompositeconstructs and related devices. Themethods include: (a) winding at least one collagen fiber a number ofrevolutions about a length of a support member having a longaxis, the winding having at least one defined pitch and/or fiber anglerelative to the long axis of the support member to form anelongate construct; and (b) applying a fluid polymeric material, such as, forexample, an acrylate emulsion and/or otherthermoplastic material, onto the collagen fiber during the winding step.Optionally, the fluid polymeric material can include antibioticsand/or other therapeutic agents for additional function/utility.
