An apparatus includes a sterile channel pre-drape assembly comprising a plurality of legs radiating from a common center region. Each of the plurality of legs has one or more sterile interior surfaces and one or more outer surfaces. The sterile interior surfaces of a pair of the plurality of legs define a sterile channel that is bounded by the outer surfaces of the pair of the plurality of legs. The sterile channel pre-drape assembly also includes an attachment element affixed to the sterile channel pre-drape assembly. The attachment element is configured to attach the sterile channel pre-drape assembly to a portion of a surgical system.
