An enclosure is provided which enables sterilization of all or part of a single or multiple stethoscopes or other items commonly re-used in the care of medical patients, such as a blood pressure cuff, EKG leads, or pulse oximeter probe. The enclosure is designed to easily suspend the stethoscope or other items in a manner which allows complete exposure of all areas to ultraviolet light. The enclosure is further designed to prevent excape of the ultraviolet light into the external environment when the device is active. A manual or predetermined timing device insures that sufficient time of exposure to kill all potential contaminating agents by means of intense ultraviolet light radiation will occur.
