Method of preparing robotic surgery apparatus with sterile barriers
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918185B2) discloses a method for preparing a robotic surgery apparatus for a medical procedure. The method involves covering the instrument manipulator of the robotic surgery apparatus with a sterile barrier by attaching a drape coupler to the bottom surface of the manipulator and wrapping a drape around the side and top surfaces. Additionally, the method includes covering the arm of the apparatus with a separate sterile barrier. The patent also details the use of magnetic coupling for attaching the sterile barriers to the instrument manipulator and arm, as well as the use of a sterile adapter for supporting surgical instruments.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method for positioning sterile barriers on different portions of the robotic surgery apparatus. This involves coupling a drape coupler to the surface of the first portion of the apparatus and wrapping a drape around other surfaces. The method also includes positioning a sterile barrier on a second portion of the apparatus adjacent to the first portion. The patent highlights the use of rigid material for the drape coupler and the independent movement facilitated by covering a portion of the drape of the first sterile barrier with the second sterile barrier. Additionally, the method involves coupling a sterile adapter to the instrument interface and covering a pin of the apparatus with a sterile cover to extend and retract a camera.
