STERILE INTERFACE FOR ARTICULATED SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS

Abstract: a sterile interface for a surgical platform is provided, optionally to be used with a mechanical telemanipulator. the sterile interface is configured to allow for transmission of motion without dimensional inconsistencies between a non-sterile surgical platform and a sterile surgical instrument that are related to one another in a master-slave configuration. the sterile interface is configured to allow for multiple changes of sterile surgical instruments during a surgical procedure without contaminating the sterile field. the sterile interface allows for interchangeable sterile articulated surgical instruments to be attached to the surgical platform without coming into contact with non-sterile portions of the surgical platform.
