Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metallic bio-implants have been gaining importance in the healthcare sector and the biomedical business has undergone a revolution as a result of recent advancements in computer-aided design and manufacturing technologies, as well as the discovery of novel materials. These methodical, technological, and systematic advancements in manufacturing processes have also made it possible to create unique biomedical products and equipment with increased functionality and just-in-time patient-specific medical solutions. In this context, biocompatible metallic materials have drawn the attention of a broader scientific community, including materials scientists, engineers, biologists, and medical professionals who seek to take advantage of the biomechanical properties of these materials for a range of applications in the biomedical field. Biomedical-grade alloy compositions have been developed over the past 20 years with great success; yet, while being widely available on the market, these materials still have a number of drawbacks. In order to create new, improved, biocompatible compositions with greater capabilities that are suitable as candidate materials for biomedical devices, more thorough study is clearly required. This Special Issue’s major goal is to discuss the fabrication of biomedical devices from a materials and manufacturing perspective. The first chapter examines the criteria that must be met in order for these biomedical devices to be approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies, as well as their classification and approval processes.

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. Metals 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 2600 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.
