PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sensor cap which can be easily attached to/detached from a sensor.SOLUTION: A sensor cap 1A that can be attached to/detached from the tip side of a sensor 12A whose tip side is brought into contact with a sensing object comprises: a cap body 2 on the first side of which an opening 21 is formed, and the second side of which is closed, and into the inside of which the sensor 12A can be inserted from the opening 21; and ribs 3 which protrude from the outer circumferential face of the cap body 2 and extend from the first side to the second side of the cap body 2. On the inner circumferential face of a cylindrical part 23 of the cap body 2, a sensor contact face 27 that can be brought into contact with the outer circumferential face 122b of a sensor supporting part 122 of the sensor 12A all over the entirety in a circumferential direction, and the cap body 2 and the rib 3 are integrally formed using an elastic body as a material. 【課題】センサに対して容易に着脱することがセンサ用キャップを提供する。【解決手段】先端側を被検体に接触させるセンサ１２Ａの先端側に着脱可能なセンサ用キャップ１Ａにおいて、第一の側に開口部２１が形成され第二の側が閉鎖されていて開口部２１から内部にセンサ１２Ａを挿入可能なキャップ本体２と、キャップ本体２の外周面から突出しキャップ本体２の第一の側から第二の側に向かって延在するリブ３と、を備え、キャップ本体２の筒状部２３の内周面２３ａには、センサ１２Ａのセンサ支持部１２２の外周面１２２ｂと周方向全体にわたって当接可能なセンサ当接面２７が形成され、キャップ本体２とリブ３とは、弾性体を材料として一体に形成されている。【選択図】図４
