1. A drape adaptor, comprising:
an adaptor body configured for coupling to a first component of a reusable unit of a medical device and for coupling a disposable unit of the medical device to the adaptor body, said disposable unit is configured for receiving an insertable medical tool, said first component comprising a non-sterile portion of a driving mechanism;
at least a portion of at least one component of a sterile portion of said driving mechanism; and
a sealing member positioned between the non-sterile portion of said driving mechanism and the sterile portion of said driving mechanism, wherein the sealing member is coupled to the adaptor body,
wherein said drape adaptor is configured to enable transmission of torque from said first component of said reusable unit of said medical device to said insertable medical tool via direct engagement between said at least one component of said sterile portion of said driving mechanism and said non-sterile portion of said driving mechanism, by translation through said sealing member, without compromising the sterility of the environment external to said drape adaptor,
wherein said adaptor body comprises a substantially rigid portion configured for covering at least a portion of said first component of said reusable unit of said medical device and a substantially elastic portion configured for covering at least a portion of a second component of said reusable unit of said medical device; and
further comprising one or more rear connectors configured to couple said adaptor body to said first component of said reusable unit of said medical device and one or more release handles coupled to said one or more rear connectors and configured to release said adaptor body from said first component of said reusable unit of said medical device.
