A surgical robotic system includes a robotic arm cart for supporting a robotic arm, and a docking station configured to be secured to an operating room floor around a surgical table. The robotic arm cart has a plurality of legs having wheels for facilitating movement of the robotic arm cart along the floor of the operating room. The robotic arm cart is configured to transition from an enlarged footprint state to a reduced footprint state. When the robotic arm cart is in the reduced footprint state, the robotic arm cart is connected to the docking station to provide stability to the robotic arm cart.

Surgical robotic systems and robotic arm carts thereof

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.

Robotic surgical systems and drapes for covering components of robotic surgical systems

Robotic surgical arm cart

A surgical cart for supporting a robotic arm includes a base, a plurality of casters coupled to the base, and first and second rods rotatably supported by the base. The first rod is operably coupled to a first caster and configured to rotate in a first direction to one of lock or unlock the first caster. The second rod is coupled to a second caster and operably coupled to the first rod such that rotation of the first rod in the first direction causes the second rod to rotate in a second direction to one of lock or unlock the second caster.

Robotic surgical systems and robotic arm carts thereof

A drape management assembly for a robotic surgical system includes a clip having a base portion configured for selective connection to the robotic surgical system and a grasping portion extending from the base portion. The base portion and the grasping portion may define a cavity therebetween. The base portion and the grasping portion may be arranged to retain a quantity of a surgical drape in the cavity to minimize an excess quantity of a surgical drape sheathed over a robotic arm of the robotic surgical system.

Drape management assembly for robotic surgical systems

A surgical cart for supporting a robotic arm includes a vertically-extending support column, a carriage movably coupled to the support column and configured to carry a robotic arm, and a braking mechanism.

A mesh deployment device having separate mesh deployment and actuation units is provided. A mesh deployment device includes an actuation unit and a mesh deployment unit configured to be releasably secured to the actuation unit. When the mesh deployment unit is secured to the actuation unit, a first actuation of the actuation unit moves the mesh deployment unit from an expanded condition to a collapsed condition and a second actuation of the actuation unit moves the mesh deployment unit from the collapsed condition to the expanded condition. The mesh deployment device may further include a mesh releasably secured to the mesh deployment unit. A third actuation of the actuation unit may release the mesh from the mesh deployment unit. Also provided is a kit including multiple mesh deployment units.
