Xi Arm Drape · Xi Column Drape · Instrument Arm Drape · Robotic Arm Drapes · Robot Drapes
Clear, sterile, single-use plastic covers made to fit the da Vinci Xi patient cart: one arm drape per robotic arm, with green strips and markings, and a separate drape for the cart's central column.
On the table
What it does, the lengths it comes in and what experienced techs know about it.
What it’s for
Keep the robotic patient cart sterile so it can be brought over the patient. One arm drape is used for each arm and one column drape for the column. They go on while the cart is still away from the OR table, before it is moved in and docked.
