1. A sterile drape, comprising:
a rotatable seal;
a plurality of drape sleeves, each of the drape sleeves comprising a proximal end attachable to the rotatable seal so as to extend distally from the rotatable seal, each of the drape sleeves including an exterior surface positionable adjacent a sterile field for performing a surgical procedure and an interior surface positionable adjacent a non-sterile instrument manipulator coupled to a manipulator arm of a robotic surgical system; and
a plurality of sterile adapters, each of the sterile adapters at a distal end of a corresponding one of the plurality of drape sleeves, each of the sterile adapters including:
a housing configured to receive a distal face of the instrument manipulator having a plurality of manipulator actuator outputs;
a membrane interface disposed at a distal end of the housing, the membrane interface including a plurality of actuator interfaces; and
a pair of supports coupled to the housing, the pair of supports configured to retain a surgical instrument having a plurality of instrument actuator inputs so that the plurality of instrument actuator inputs are positioned opposite to corresponding manipulator actuator outputs with a corresponding actuator interface between each corresponding instrument actuator input and manipulator actuator output,
wherein the rotatable seal is engageable with a rotatable element at a distal end of the manipulator arm so as to couple the plurality of sleeves, in an attached state with the rotatable seal, to the distal end of the manipulator, and
wherein each drape sleeve of the plurality of drape sleeves is independently extendable and retractable with respect to each of the other drape sleeves of the plurality of drape sleeves.
