Abstract: A method of preparing a robotic surgery apparatus for a medical procedure can include covering a manipulator unit of the robotic surgery apparatus with a first sterile barrier by coupling a drape coupler of the first sterile barrier to a bottom surface of the manipulator unit and wrapping a drape of the first sterile barrier around side and top surfaces of the manipulator unit. The drape can be coupled to the drape coupler. The drape can be made of material that is more flexible than material of the drape coupler. The method can include covering an arm of the robotic surgery apparatus supporting the manipulator unit with a second sterile barrier that is distinct from the first sterile barrier by coupling the second sterile barrier to the arm and wrapping the second sterile barrier around the arm.

Abstract: A sterile barrier system for a robotic surgery apparatus can include a drape coupler. The drape coupler can include an external surface configured to face a first surface of a first portion of the robotic surgery apparatus. The drape coupler can include at least one drape coupler fastener positioned at least partially on the external surface and configured to removably attach the drape coupler to the first surface. The drape coupler can be configured to at least partially cover the first surface. The system can include a drape made of a flexible material and coupled to the drape coupler, the drape configured to wrap around a second surface of the first portion of the robotic surgery apparatus, the second surface different from the first surface. The drape coupler and the drape can be sterile.

Abstract: An instrument adapter for a robotic surgery apparatus can include an adapter housing configured to receive and support an actuator housing of a surgical instrument. The actuator housing can include a plurality of surgical instrument actuators. The adapter can include a plurality of interface actuators configured to engage with the plurality of instrument actuators of the actuator housing and cause movement of the instrument actuators. Movement of the instrument actuators can cause movement of an end effector of the surgical instrument. The instrument adapter can be configured to facilitate the actuator housing of the surgical instrument to transition from a first orientation in which the interface actuators are not engaged with the instrument actuators of the surgical instrument to a second orientation in which the interface actuators are engaged with the instrument actuators.

Abstract: A sterile barrier for a robotic surgery apparatus can include a drape made of a flexible material. The drape can include a first surface configured to face a component of the robotic surgery apparatus and a second surface opposite the first surface. The second surface can be sterile and configured to provide a sterile barrier for the component. The sterile barrier can include a first pair of pockets positioned along a first edge of the second surface and configured to receive hands of a user. The first pair of pockets can be configured to facilitate positioning of the sterile barrier on the component.

Abstract: A robotic surgery apparatus can include a component including a housing with an external surface. The apparatus can include a plurality of component fasteners positioned on the external surface of the housing. The plurality of component fasteners can be configured to couple with a plurality of drape fasteners of a sterile drape. The sterile drape can be configured to cover a portion of the surface of the housing and to provide a sterile barrier for the portion of the surface. A number of component fasteners in the plurality of component fasteners can exceed a number of drape fasteners in the plurality of drape fasteners, permitting the drape to be positioned on the housing of the component in a plurality of orientations and to cover a plurality of different portions of the surface of the housing. When the drape is positioned on the housing, at least one component fastener of the plurality of component fasteners may not be coupled to any of the drape fasteners of the plurality of drape fasteners.

Abstract: An aerosol delivery device accessory is disclosed. The accessory may include a housing defining a cavity. An electrical power source and a connector may be engaged with a drawer assembly. The drawer assembly may be moveable with respect to the housing between extended and retracted configurations. In the extended configuration an aerosol delivery device may be engaged with the connector. In the retracted configuration the aerosol delivery device may be protected by the housing and recharged by the electrical power source. The drawer assembly may include a storage compartment configured to receive cartridges for the aerosol delivery device. Further, a slider may engage and move a cartridge between recessed and extended positions to store and provide access thereto. A related assembly method is also provided.
