A sterile interface for a surgical platform is provided, optionally to be used with a mechanical telemanipulator. The sterile interface is configured to allow for transmission of motion without dimensional inconsistencies between a non-sterile surgical platform and a sterile surgical instrument that are related to one another in a master-slave configuration. The sterile interface is configured to allow for multiple changes of sterile surgical instruments during a surgical procedure without contaminating the sterile field. The sterile interface allows for interchangeable sterile articulated surgical instruments to be attached to the surgical platform without coming into contact with non-sterile portions of the surgical platform.

A screen cover device and an air-cleaning device configured to be used together with such a screen cover device, wherein said screen cover device is configured for holding at least one disposable screen cover which when in use, is configured for covering at least a substantial part of an air outflow area of a screen of the air-cleaning device, wherein said screen cover device is provided as an attachment to the air-cleaning device and comprises: at least one disposable screen cover; and a first unit which is configured for keeping the at least one disposable screen cover when not in use and which is configured to be mounted to the air-cleaning device.

A sterile barrier for a robotic drive comprises a first drive module configured to move moving along a longitudinal axis of a drive body. The sterile barrier comprises a first resilient member having a first free edge proximate the longitudinal axis. The first free edge adjacent the first drive module is resiliently biased away from and returned to the longitudinal axis as the first drive module moves along the longitudinal axis.

A protective drape for a medical procedure may include a protective sheet including an interior surface, an exterior surface, a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side. A first flap is coupled to the interior surface of the protective sheet so as to form a pocket at the first end of the protective sheet. The first flap includes an outer edge positioned away from the second end of the protective sheet and connected to the protective sheet, and a first lateral edge that is connected to the protective sheet so as to form a sealed periphery of the pocket that extends over the outer edge and a first lateral edge of the first flap.

A surgical system includes a surgical arm including at least a distal segment. The surgical system further includes a drape disposed over the surgical arm such that the surgical arm is at least partially covered by the drape. An instrument connector is coupled to the distal segment of the surgical arm through the drape and includes a stem and a shaft. The shaft is configured to receive a surgical instrument. When the instrument connector is coupled to the surgical arm, the instrument connector secures a portion of the drape against the distal segment of the surgical arm. Other example surgical systems and surgical arms are also disclosed.
