MEDICAL DRAPE WITH PATTERN ADHESIVE LAYERS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME
A medical drape for use with a reduced pressure system for providing reduced pressure to a tissue site is described. In some embodiments, the drape may include a flexible film, and an adhesive layer coupled to the flexible film. The adhesive layer may include a first adhesive disposed on a first portion of the flexible film in a first pattern. The first adhesive can be configured to secure the flexible film proximate to the tissue site. The adhesive layer generally includes a second adhesive disposed on a second portion of the flexible film in a second pattern. The second adhesive can be configured to seal the flexible film proximate to the tissue site. The first pattern and the second pattern are preferably registered so that the first portion and the second portion are offset to cover substantially different portions of the flexible film.
Signal connector for sterile barrier between surgical instrument and teleoperated actuator
An instrument sterile drape includes a plastic sheet and an instrument sterile adapter (ISA) coupled to the plastic sheet. The ISA includes bottom and top plates located on opposite sides of the plastic sheet plate and joined together. A passage in the bottom plate allows an instrument carriage flux connection to pass through the plastic sheet and the bottom plate to be adjacent to the top plate. The top plate includes a signal transmission area that will be adjacent to an upper surface of the flux connection of the instrument carriage. A flux connector may close an opening in the signal transmission area of the top plate and provide a path for an electrical or optical signal. The signal transmission area of the top plate may be thinned to allow an RFID sensor to be closer to an RFID device in a surgical instrument attached to the instrument sterile adapter.
Neonatal drape device
A neonatal drape device for protecting a neonatal subject comprising a sheet configured to receive the neonatal subject in a supine position. The sheet has a base, at least one side edge, and a plurality of separation lines. The separation lines extend inwardly from the at least one side edge of the sheet. The sheet is sufficiently pliable so as to wrap and conform to the neonatal subject. The sheet further includes a plurality of notches disposed adjacent to the base, each at an inner end of one of the separation lines. The notches are configured to allow a cable to extend from an internal space of the neonatal drape device to an external location while the sheet is wrapped around the neonatal subject.
STERILE DRAPE WITH ELASTICIZED BODY PORTION FOR PROTECTING A C-ARM IMAGING MACHINE
A sterile drape can be used to cover a C-arm imaging machine used during a medical procedure. In some configurations, the drape includes a detector body cover, a C-arm body cover, and an elastic banding. The detector body cover can be positioned around a detector of the imaging machine. The C-arm body cover can include a tunnel portion that is positioned to surround a portion of the C-arm extending away from the detector. The elastic banding can extend about a perimeter of a junction between the detector body cover and the C-arm body cover. The elastic banding can provide a biasing force that draws the junction between the detector body cover and the C-arm body cover closed.
Wound Closure Systems for Reducing Surgical Site Infections Comprising Incision Drapes Filled with Releasable Antimicrobial Agents
A surgical incision drape, comprises a flexible substantially flat areal substrate having an upper side and an opposing tissue-facing side, having a longitudinal axis and a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the tissue-facing side; at least one hollow microtubular compartment containing a flowable medical agent, said hollow microtubular compartment positioned to intersect the longitudinal axis and embedded into the substrate or positioned on the substrate.

METHOD OF USING A SURGICAL MODULAR ROBOTIC ASSEMBLY
A method of using a surgical modular robotic assembly including an interchangeable motor pack, a hand-held surgical instrument, and a robotic surgical instrument is disclosed. The method includes releasably attaching an interface portion of the interchangeable motor pack to the hand-held surgical instrument, causing the interchangeable motor pack to drive a first surgical tool of the hand-held surgical instrument, stopping the interchangeable motor pack from driving the first surgical tool, disconnecting the interface portion from the hand-held surgical instrument, and releasably attaching the interface portion of the interchangeable motor pack to the robotic surgical instrument.

ROBOTIC SURGICAL SYSTEMS AND DRAPES FOR COVERING COMPONENTS OF ROBOTIC SURGICAL SYSTEMS
A drape for covering a robotic surgical system includes a proximal section joined to and continuous with a distal section. The distal section is fabricated from a relatively strong material and is configured to cover the more dynamic portions of the robotic surgical system, and the proximal section is fabricated from a light-permeable material and is configured to cover the more static portions of the robotic surgical system.
Surgical Drape
A surgical drape adapted to overlay a patient including an opaque sheet having superior region extending to a cephalad end with a fenestration configured to surround a surgical region of the patient, and an inferior region extending from the inferior aspect of the fenestration to a caudal end and having a transparent sheet joined to the patient facing side of the opaque sheet proximate the inferior aspect of the fenestration between opposite opaque sheet first and second edges allowing the inferior portion of the opaque sheet drawn away from the transparent sheet to allow a surgeon visual access to the patient through the transparent sheet.
