A measurement device capable of sensing presence of an obstacle within a
vessel from outside the vessel in operating a linear body inserted in the
vessel is provided. According to this measurement device, an easy-to-use
measurement device capable of measuring compressive force in a direction
of longitudinal axis applied to the linear body that has a sheath thicker
than the linear body, such as a wire having a coil for embolizing an
aneurysm attached at a tip end, without lowering measurement accuracy,
can be provided. In addition, a length of a restraint portion is
minimized, to achieve a smaller size of the measurement device. Moreover,
the measurement device capable of measuring compressive force in the
direction of longitudinal axis applied to the linear body regardless of
magnitude of buckling load of the linear body can be provided, and the
same measurement device is applicable to linear bodies of various
materials, which leads to cost efficiency.
