Abstract: It is a calibration device for a measurement instrument for measuring a compressive force or a tensile force in a longitudinal direction exerted to a linear body from a predetermined correlation. A stopper part for fixing the linear body is fixed at a one end side entrance and a push/pull movable part for enabling the linear body to be pushed and pulled in an insertion/withdrawal direction at an other end entrance is fixed, so that the relative positions of the stopper part and the push/pull movable part with respect to a sensor main body cannot be changed. A force detector measures the force in the insertion/withdrawal direction exerted from the push/pull movable part to the linear body. The force detector is interposed between the push/pull movable part and the linear body.

Abstract: There is provided an insertion device allowing a doctor to alone perform an operation to insert a medical linear body. The insertion device, operated to insert a delivery wire (104) into a human body (131) through a blood vessel (132), includes a foot switch (41, 46) generating and outputting a signal to control starting/stopping a drive device (1) moving the delivery wire (104) in its longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the insertion device includes an insertion force sensor (60) operative to measure longitudinally compressive force exerted to the delivery wire (104), and a speaker (92) and a display (93) informing an operator of the compressive force measured by the insertion force sensor (60).

Abstract: This measurement device is a measurement device for measuring compressive force and pulling force in a direction of a longitudinal axis applied to a linear body having flexibility, and it includes a main body in which a through hole for inserting the linear body is formed. The through hole is formed to allow bending of the linear body in an arc shape in the through hole and variation in degree of bending of the linear body in accordance with compressive force and pulling force. This measurement device further includes a sensor for detecting a degree of bending of the linear body and a conversion circuit for converting the degree of bending detected by the sensor into a signal indicating compressive force and pulling force applied to the linear body.
