A disposable digit cover structured to be applied to envelop a portion of a human finger or toe, i.e., digit, for aiding in prevention of the spread of communicable diseases and cross-patient contamination from pulse oximeter probes. The cover is a flexible, tubular structure of material impervious to the passage of infectious agents, and having an open end, a closed end and being sufficiently transparent to light to serve as a barrier between a human digit and a pulse oximeter probe. The barrier is first placed over the digit, the medical probe is then clamped on the barrier to pass light into the digit. The readings are taken, the probe is removed, then the barrier is removed and discarded.
