Abstract

A sterile interface module includes a body member that couples a surgical instrument to a robotic surgical assembly, a first drive transfer assembly supported by the body member, and a rotatable collar supported on the body member. The first drive transfer assembly includes a drive coupler and a transfer shaft extending from the drive coupler. The drive coupler is engagable with the robotic surgical assembly and the transfer shaft is engagable with the surgical instrument. The drive coupler and the transfer assembly are robotically movable to operate an end effector of the surgical instrument. The rotatable collar is operably associated with the first drive transfer assembly and is manually movable relative to the body member to manually operate the end effector of the surgical instrument.
