Abstract
A device for robot-assisted surgery with at least one coupling unit () of a manipulator arm () comprising a first transmitting means (). A sterile cover () comprising a sterile lock () serves to shield the manipulator arm () from a sterile area (). The sterile lock () is connectable both to the coupling unit () and to the sterile unit (). The sterile lock () has at least one lock flap () which in a closed state shields the first transmitting means () in a sterile manner. The sterile unit () comprising a second transmitting means () has sterile flaps () which in a closed state shield the second transmitting means () in a sterile manner. When connecting the sterile unit () to the sterile lock () the lock flap () and the sterile flap () are opened so that a direct transmission between the first transmitting means () and the second transmitting means () is possible. When separating the sterile unit () from the sterile lock () the lock flaps () and the sterile flap () are each automatically closed and locked so that they shield the first transmitting means () and the second transmitting means () from the sterile area (). Further, the invention relates to a sterile lock () and a method for robot-assisted surgery.
