Polymeric tubes with controlled orientation

A method, comprising:

• obtaining at least one stretched polymeric material exhibiting at least partial molecular orientation, wherein:
• the at least one stretched polymeric material comprises at least one crystallizable biodegradable polymeric material, wherein the at least one stretched polymeric material has a first dimension, and wherein the at least one stretched polymeric material was prepared by stretching at least one polymeric material in a manner that increased the first dimension and that resulted in a controlled level of orientation;
• forming a multilayered tube using the at least one stretched polymeric material and at least one adhesive material layer, wherein the multilayer tube has an orientation profile that is substantially consistent throughout a wall of the multilayered tube.
