Abstract
An improved sterile drape, system, and method for draping portions of a telerobotic surgical system are provided. In one embodiment, a sterile drape includes an exterior surface adjacent to a sterile field for performing a surgical procedure, and an interior surface forming a cavity for receiving the non-sterile portion of a robotic surgical system, such as a manipulator. The drape further includes a fastener coupled to the exterior surface for securing the sterile drape to the non-sterile portion of the robotic surgical system while reducing the volume of the sterile drape. Advantageously, the drape allows for quick and simple installation and increases visualization of the patient by reducing the size of the drape with more form fitting features, while allowing for freedom of movement of the manipulator.

30. A surgical drape comprising:
-
an exterior surface adjacent to a sterile field for performing a surgical procedure; an interior surface forming a cavity for receiving a non-sterile portion of a robotic surgical system; and an integral cuff including a permanently turned-up fold of the exterior and interior surfaces at an open end of the cavity and a marker on the permanently turned-up fold designating a sterile side and a non-sterile side of the drape. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)

42. A robotic surgical system for performing a procedure within a sterile field, the system comprising:
-
a non-sterile portion of a robotic surgical system; and a drape over the non-sterile portion of the robotic surgical system to shield the sterile field from the non-sterile portion, the drape including; an exterior surface adjacent to the sterile field for performing a surgical procedure; an interior surface forming a cavity for receiving the non-sterile portion of the robotic surgical system; and an integral cuff including a permanently turned-up fold of the exterior and interior surfaces at an open end of the cavity and a marker on the permanently turned-up fold designating a sterile side and a non-sterile side of the drape. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)

49. A method of draping a robotic surgical system, the method comprising:
-
providing a drape including; an exterior surface adjacent to a sterile field for performing a surgical procedure; an interior surface forming a cavity for receiving a non-sterile portion of the robotic surgical system; and an integral cuff including a permanently turned-up fold of the exterior and interior surfaces at an open end of the cavity and a marker on the permanently turned-up fold designating a sterile side and a non-sterile side of the drape; positioning the open end of the cavity at the non-sterile portion of the robotic surgical system; and holding the integral cuff to unfold the drape over the non-sterile portion of the robotic surgical system. - View Dependent Claims (50, 51, 52, 53, 54)
