Medical Implants Many medical implants provoke a foreign body response (FBR) postimplantation, causing treatment failure. In article number 2010929, Shady Farah and co‐workers describe the recent technologies to mitigate FBR, in order to enhance the success of implantable medical devices, biocompatibility, and long‐term functionality. This comprehensive review discusses the concept with respect to drug delivery systems and surface modifications and their recent advances with appropriate examples.
