A disposable tip (100) adapted for use in connection with an optical probe of an instrument. The tip includes a one-piece molded elastomeric base member having a boot (106) and an opaque tissue-engaging surface (108). The boot releasably mates with and provides an interference/friction fit to the probe. The tissue-engaging surface surrounds and extends from the boot. A window (102) in the base member extends into the boot to transmit light between the probe and tissue. A layer of optically transparent material covers the window on the tissue-engaging surface. Adhesive (105) on the tissue-engaging surface of the base member releasably secures the probe to the tissue being analyzed.
