Abstract
An aspect of the present invention provides a drape unit that is disposed between a medical robot holding a surgical instrument and the surgical instrument to isolate the surgical instrument and the medical robot from each other. The drape unit transmits power in a forward/backward direction from a power transmission part of the medical robot to a movable part provided in the surgical instrument. The drape unit comprises: a movable intervening part that receives the power from the power transmission part; and a fixed intervening part that is detachably attached to the medical robot. The fixed intervening part has a through-hole through which a part of the movable intervening part is inserted. The fixed intervening part has a housing portion that covers a part of the movable intervening part as viewed in a penetrating direction of the through-hole when the movable intervening part moves to an end portion in the forward/backward direction. It is thereby possible to sufficiently isolate a clean area and an unclean area from each other and improve the operability of surgery.
