Sterile Drape Assembly For Surgical Robot

Abstract: a sterile drape assembly for use with a robotic arm. the robotic arm includes a plurality of links and a plurality of motorized joints for moving the plurality of links. the robotic arm supports an end effector on a distal end of the robotic arm. a plurality of light emitting diode (led) units are located on a surface of at least one of the links of the robotic arm. each of the led units projects from the surface and includes an attachment interface. the sterile drape assembly includes a flexible and substantially transparent surgical drape to be disposed over the robotic arm and the led units. drape attachment elements couple to the attachment interfaces of the led units to secure portions of the surgical drape to the led units such that the secured portions of the surgical drape cover the led units.
