Surgical drape cooling

A surgical system drape comprising:

• a sheath having an interior cavity sized to cover a portion of a surgical system manipulator;
• an adaptor coupled to the sheath and comprising a manipulator interface and an instrument interface, the manipulator interface configured to couple with a drive interface of the manipulator, and the instrument interface being configured to couple with a drive interface of a surgical instrument mounted to the manipulator;
• and
• a fluid conduit coupled to the sheath and extending within the interior cavity of the sheath, the fluid conduit configured to receive a flow of cooling fluid at a fluid port and convey the fluid along the interior cavity of the sheath to cool a component of a portion of the manipulator, wherein the sheath comprises an outermost layer, an innermost layer, and a middle layer between the outermost layer and the innermost layer, wherein the fluid conduit comprises a passageway formed between the middle layer and the innermost layer.
