Zusammenfassung:Specimen collectors configured for use with robotic medical systems are described herein. A robotic medical system can include a medical instrument that can be inserted into a patient to capture a specimen. A robotic manipulator can be engaged with the medical instrument and configured to operate the medical instrument. A sterile barrier can be used to separate a sterile field containing the medical instrument from a non-sterile field containing the robotic manipulator. A specimen collector can include a receptacle portion in the sterile field and configured to receive the specimen when the distal end of the medical instrument is withdrawn from the patient and a connector coupled to the receptacle portion and configured to attach to the robotic medical system. The robotic system can deposit the specimen in the receptacle portion.
