A catheter-gripping device measures a catheter-insertion force during a medical procedure. A handle includes first and second handle members adapted to be held by a clinician and which are disposable in a closed-handle position to at least partially surround a medical catheter having a distal end insertable into a body lumen of a patient. The first slide subassembly is slidably attached to the first handle member and is constrained to be slidable with respect to the first handle member only along an axis substantially parallel to the lengthwise axis of the handle. The second slide subassembly is likewise attached to the second handle member. The two slide subassemblies together grip the catheter when the handle members are disposed in the closed-handle position. The load cell has a force-measuring axis aligned substantially parallel to the lengthwise axis and is operably attached to the first slide subassembly and the first handle member.
