The most important advances have been in the technology of the electroscalpel; an electroscalpel is a device that makes use of electricity to cut tissue, perform dissections and sutures.  This technology offers optimum accuracy, fewer errors and the possibility to make sutures more quickly, advances in the field of electroscalpel have been reinforced by the use of nanotechnology for the development of it.

In recent years, new technologies have had a great impact on medicine and medical equipment; the incorporation of advances in biomedical electronics technology has made an important difference in the manufacture of laboratory electroscalpel. 

The measurement of conductivity in the laboratory is a crucial practice to understand the quality of water and the concentration of electrolytes in it; this measure is useful to detect impurities and harmful substances and, in addition, to control the purity of a certain water sample.
