Abstract
A sterile adapter for a robotic surgery system includes a frame, a proximal coupling device suitable to form a connection with a non-sterile robotic manipulator system, a distal cavity suitable to form a connection with a surgical instrument suitable to perform robotic surgery to a patient anatomy, and a membrane having a proximal non-sterile side and a distal sterile side opposite to the proximal non-sterile side. The membrane is between the proximal coupling device and the distal cavity, and membrane is stretchable to transmit a plurality of pushing actions from the proximal non-sterile side to the distal sterile side. The frame is rigid to transmit a roll action
