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.

  • Lengths and variants

    Intuitive catalog: Arm drape, part 470015 (box of 20, one per arm per procedure). Column drape, part 470341 (box of 20). Arm-4 extension drape 470473 is listed for the da Vinci X.
