A disposable cover is provided for a stethoscope head, the stethoscope stem and the tubing immediately adjacent to the stem to help provide a barrier to prevent the transmission of harmful organisms or matter from the stethoscope head to a patient, or to the medical practioner, or to the general public and vice versa. The cover has an opening which is stretched to receive the stethoscope head and a loose casing capable of enveloping the stethoscope head. The loose casing does not need to stretch during insertion or while enveloping the stethoscope head. The loose casing allows the stethoscope head to simply drop down into the cover to the closed end.
