Abstract
A surgical drape comprises an exterior surface adjacent to a sterile field for performing a surgical procedure and an interior surface forming a cavity for receiving a non-sterile portion of a robotic surgical system. The surgical drape also includes a first vent through the interior and exterior surfaces spaced apart from a second vent through the interior and exterior surfaces to create convection heat venting through the surgical drape. The exterior and interior surfaces include a window for positioning adjacent to a monitor screen, the window having a static charge. The drape further comprises second drape section connected to a first drape section and including an instrument sterile adapter for engaging a surgical tool and another non-sterile portion of the robotic surgical system, the sterile adapter configured to transfer signals between the surgical tool and the other non-sterile portion of the robotic surgical system.
