摘要

An adapter plate assembly for mounting a support assembly for suspending an instrument driver above an operating table. The adapter plate assembly comprises a main plate which rests on the surface of the operating table. A first clamp assembly which removably attaches to the operating table is mounted on one or more horizontal adjustment rods which are slidably received in one of the main plate in order to provide adjustability to the width of the adapter plate assembly. On the opposing end of the main plate, a second clamp assembly is coupled main plate. In order to secure the instrument driver, an adapter rail is also coupled to the main plate. The adapter rail is configured to detachably couple to a support assembly interface of the support assembly, and provides sufficient structural support for suspending the instrument driver above the operating table.
