Problems solved by technology

Even when the surgical drapes do remain intact, the positioning of the end effector on the robotic arm is imprecise due to the compressibility of the surgical drapes
For example, surgical drapes may compress unevenly
Additionally, thick drapes made from conventional drapery materials will deflect and bend under normal end effector loads

Embodiment Construction

[0058] refer to figure 1 with 2 , shows a mounting system 20 for kinematically coupling a first surgical component and a second surgical component using a sterile barrier assembly 22 . In one embodiment described herein, the first surgical component is a robotic arm R and the second surgical component is an end effector EE for the robotic arm R. It should be appreciated that mounting system 20 may be employed to kinematically couple any surgical component using sterile barrier assembly 22 .

[0059] The robotic arm R includes a first mounting portion 24 and the end effector EE includes a second mounting portion 26 . Sterile barrier assembly 22 is positioned between first mounting portion 24 and second mounting portion 26 to establish a barrier between robotic arm R and end effector EE during surgery. This barrier separates the robotic arm R from the sterile field S in which the end effector EE operates. During surgery, the robotic arm R is considered non-sterile and the ba...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a sterile barrier assembly, and a mounting system and method for kinematicaliy coupling first and second surgical components together through the sterile barrier assembly, so that positioning is repeatable and deterministic.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority and benefit to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 118,737, filed February 20, 2015, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this application. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to sterile barrier assemblies, mounting systems and methods for coupling surgical components therethrough. Background technique [0004] Sterile barrier assemblies, such as surgical drapes, are known for creating a barrier between surgical components during surgery. For example, a surgical drape may be used to provide a barrier between a robotic arm and an end effector attached to the robotic arm. During the surgery, the robotic arm was left unsterilized and the end effector was sterile. The surgical drapes form a barrier between the robotic arm and the end effector to prevent contamination of the sterile field in which the end effector operates. ...
