Abstract: A disposable cover for a stethoscope for being placed in a tensioned condition over and covering a patient-contacting portion of the stethoscope. The cover includes an elastomeric material defining a disc-shaped body, a raised rim integrally-formed with and surrounding the body, and a centrally-disposed, raised dimple integrally-formed in the body for being grasped and pulled away from the stethoscope when removal of the cover from the stethoscope is desired. The cover may include perforations or some other form of weakness area which tear the cover to facilitate removal when desired.
