Instrument device manipulator and surgical drape
First Claim
1. A surgical drape comprising:
- a sheet configured to cover at least portions of a surgical robotic system;
a first protrusion and a second protrusion connected to the sheet, the first and second protrusions insertable into openings positioned on opposite sides of a surgical tool holder and connected by a passage therethrough; and
a first mating interface on the first protrusion configured to mate with a second mating interface on the second protrusion,wherein, when the first protrusion and the second protrusion are inserted into the openings of the surgical tool holder and the first mating interface and the second mating interface are coupled together, the surgical drape creates a sterile boundary between the surgical tool holder and at least a portion of the passage through the surgical tool holder through which a surgical tool can be placed.

Abstract
An instrument device manipulator (IDM) is attached to a surgical arm of a robotic system and comprises a surgical tool holder and an outer housing. The surgical tool holder includes an attachment interface that can secure a surgical tool in a front-mount configuration (where the attachment interface is on a face opposite of a proximal extension of the surgical tool) or a back-mount configuration (where the attachment interface is on the same face as the proximal extension of the surgical tool). The surgical tool holder may rotate continuously within the outer housing. In a back-mount configuration, the surgical tool holder may have a passage that receives the proximal extension of the tool and allows free rotation of the proximal extension about the rotational axis. A surgical drape separates the IDM and robotic arm from a tool, while allowing electrical and/or optical signals to pass therebetween.
