A sterile drape according to an embodiment may include: a flexible film member including a first opening and a second opening and configured to cover the robot arm received through the second opening; and a resin molded member configured to close the first opening of the flexible film member. The resin molded member includes: an upper surface portion having a shape and a size fitted to an attachment surface of an attachment portion of the robot arm; a side surface portion extending downward from the upper surface portion; and a projection which projects outward from a lower edge of the side surface portion and to which the flexible film member is welded.

Systems and methods for selective auto-retroperfusion along with regional mild hypothermia. In at least one embodiment of a system for providing a retroperfusion therapy to a venous vessel of the present disclosure, the system comprises a catheter for controlling blood perfusion pressure, the catheter comprising a body having a proximal open end, a distal end, a lumen extending between the proximal open end and the distal end, and a plurality of orifices disposed thereon, each of the orifices in fluid communication with the lumen, and at least one expandable balloon, each of the at least one expandable balloons coupled with the body, having an interior that is in fluid communication with the lumen, and adapted to move between an expanded configuration and a deflated configuration, and a flow unit for regulating the flow and pressure of a bodily fluid, and a regional hypothermia system operably coupled to the catheter, the regional hypothermia system operable to reduce and/or regulate a temperature of the bodily fluid flowing therethrough.

A modular surgical instrument system, comprising a handle assembly, comprising a disposable outer housing configured to define a sterile barrier. The disposable outer housing comprises a first housing-portion and a second housing-portion movable relative to the first housing-portion between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The handle assembly further comprises a control inner core receivable inside the disposable outer housing in the open configuration. The disposable outer housing is configured to isolate the control inner core in the closed configuration. The modular surgical instrument system further comprises a primary wired interface configured to transmit data and power between the control inner core and at least one of modular components of the modular surgical instrument system, a secondary interface comprising a sensor located within the outer housing, and a control circuit configured to confirm a primary connection through the primary wired interface based on at least one sensor reading.

A wound protector is provided for use with a surgical stapling instrument. One end of the wound protector is attached to the surgical stapling instrument, with the other end free and able to move to encompass the distal portion of the surgical stapling instrument after use. In this way, any contaminants on the distal portion of the circular stapling instrument are prevented from contacting healthy tissue as the surgical stapling instrument is removed from a patient's body.

A prosthetic implant transfer device is provided that may be used to insert a prosthetic implant through a surgical opening. In some embodiments, the device may comprise a flexible sheet of material that may be formed into an elongated hollow structure. The flexible sheet of material includes a plurality of fasteners that may be selected and engaged to define a desired size distal opening.
