A measurement device (2) 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 (2), an easy-to-use measurement device (2) 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 (5, 6) is minimized, to achieve a smaller size of the measurement device (2). Moreover, the measurement device (2) 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 (2) is applicable to linear bodies of various materials, which leads to cost efficiency.
