Abstract
A catheter-based procedure system comprises: a robotic drive body; a support arm supporting the robotic drive body; a first drive module configured to move along a longitudinal axis of the robotic drive body; a second drive module configured to move along the longitudinal axis of the robotic drive body, the second drive module being separate from the first drive module; and a sterile barrier. The sterile barrier includes: a first portion covering a portion of the support arm and a portion of the robotic drive body; a second portion that is removably coupled to the robotic drive body, the second portion being more rigid than the first portion; a resilient third portion extending from the second portion, the resilient third portion having a first free edge arranged along the longitudinal axis and the first free edge being adjacent the first drive module.
