Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research that will result in the eventual development of implantable medical devices must be of the highest scientific standard in order to help ensure patient safety. However, those of us who specialize in translational research also understand that other considerations must often be made when designing these projects. Future regulatory and reimbursement considerations must be made when setting up research on implantable medical devices. As a result, there is a higher probability that this research will be applied to, and be useful for, a commercially viable device.
In order to showcase translational research, MDPI’s Bioengineering journal is offering a second Special Issue dedicated to research on implantable medical devices. The goal of this is to further highlight cutting-edge research that has a high probability of leading to either improvements or developments in medical implants. The research presented can range from basic science studies to biomechanics and biomaterials research used for testing in large animals. This Special Issue will include a broad range of novel research related to medical devices across all sectors.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, research on the development and evaluation of implants in the following areas:
- Orthopedic and spine;
- Cardiovascular;
- Pulmonary;
- Neural;
- Tissue-engineered products;
- Drug delivery.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
