    摘要: A surgical robotic drape for enveloping a surgical robotic arm that comprises a drive assembly for providing drive to an instrument, the drive assembly comprising an interface for coupling to a corresponding interface of the instrument, the drape comprising: a covering for enveloping the robotic arm to define a sterile boundary thereover; an interface element attached to the covering, the interface element being configured to engage the drive assembly interface and the instrument interface to couple the drive assembly to the instrument to thereby provide drive to the instrument through the drape; and a guiding structure attached to the covering for locating the interface element relative to the drive assembly interface, the guiding structure being deformable between a storage configuration for when the drape is to be stored, and an operative configuration in which the guiding structure is configured to attach to the robotic arm to position the interface element with respect to the interface of the drive assembly for engagement therewith.

    摘要: A surgical robotic drape for enveloping a portion of a surgical robot that comprises an instrument having at least one joint, and a robotic arm comprising a drive assembly configured to provide mechanical drive for selectively actuating the at least one joint, the instrument and drive assembly each having a plurality of interfaces for coupling mechanical drive from the drive assembly to the instrument, the drape comprising: a covering for enveloping the surgical robot drive assembly to define a sterile boundary thereover; and a plurality of interface elements each configured to engage with both a drive assembly interface and an instrument interface to couple the drive assembly to the instrument to thereby transfer mechanical drive provided by the drive assembly through the drape to selectively actuate the at least one joint of the instrument, the plurality of interface elements being attached to the covering in a spatial arrangement so that each of the plurality of interface elements is separated from each of the other plurality of interface elements by material of the covering.
