Abstract
A force meter for detecting force applied to an endovascular device includes a housing, a passage in the housing configured to receive the endovascular device, and a sensor disposed in the housing to measure force from the endovascular device to the housing. The force meter may also include electronic components to process the force readings from the sensor, transmit the readings to an external receiver, and to indicate the force readings to a user.
