Claim:
A tip for blood measurement, comprising: a mounted section to be mounted to a blood component measurement device; a puncture needle possessing an axis and movable for being advanced in an axial direction of the needle to puncture skin and produce a blood sample, and for being retracted in the axial direction of the puncture needle; a contact section which has a cavity permitting said puncture needle to pass therethrough and which is contactable with the skin; a guide section adjacent the contact section; a measurement unit for measuring a component of the blood sample; and a blood introduction section in communication with the measurement unit, wherein said contact section is configured to obliquely slide relative to the blood introduction section so that the contact section is obliquely displaceable relative to the axial direction of said puncture needle, and said contact section is provided with a first slant surface opposed to the guide section and inclined at a predetermined angle relative to the axial direction of said puncture needle, said guide section is provided with a second slant surface in contact with said first slant surface and being at substantially the same angle as said first slant surface, and said contact section is displaceable along said second slant surface via said first slant surface.
