Device for the iterative measurement of the circumference of an object, in particular a limb, comprising: - a first longitudinal graduated measuring element having a first longitudinal direction, arranged to be placed alongside the said object, in particular alongside the said limb and defining a slide, - a distal strap and a proximal strap each located in a plane substantially perpendicular to the said longitudinal direction, and - a slider engaging with the said slide, linked to a second longitudinal graduated measuring element, the said slider having an orifice for the slide to pass through and being positioned between the said distal strap and the said proximal strap, wherein: - the said slide and a flexible strap having a section affixed alongside its length, - the said passage orifice is defined by four walls, at least two of which are parallel to one another and each of them forms a guide wall for the slider along the slide so as to fit the said second longitudinal graduated measuring element in a plane perpendicular to the said first longitudinal direction, - the said proximal strap is linked to the slide or a slider engaging with the said slide other than that to which the said second graduated measuring element is linked, the said proximal strap being detachable or not, - the said distal strap is linked to the slide or a slider engaging with the said slide other than that to which the said second graduated measuring element is linked, the said distal strap being detachable or not, and where - the said distal strap and proximal strap are the graduated longitudinal bands or those having a first and a second ends, each equipped with a closing and having an open and a closed position, the said open position being a position where the first and the second ends are spaced from one another, whereas the closed position is a position in which the said first end of the said longitudinal band goes over the said second end. - a first longitudinal graduated measuring element having a first longitudinal direction, arranged to be placed alongside the said object, in particular alongside the said limb and defining a slide, - a distal strap and a proximal strap each located in a plane substantially perpendicular to the said longitudinal direction, and - a slider engaging with the said slide, linked to a second longitudinal graduated measuring element, the said slider having an orifice for the slide to pass through and being positioned between the said distal strap and the said proximal strap, - the said slide and a flexible strap having a section affixed alongside its length, - the said passage orifice is defined by four walls, at least two of which are parallel to one another and each of them forms a guide wall for the slider along the slide so as to fit the said second longitudinal graduated measuring element in a plane perpendicular to the said first longitudinal direction, - the said proximal strap is linked to the slide or a slider engaging with the said slide other than that to which the said second graduated measuring element is linked, the said proximal strap being detachable or not, - the said distal strap is linked to the slide or a slider engaging with the said slide other than that to which the said second graduated measuring element is linked, the said distal strap being detachable or not, and where - the said distal strap and proximal strap are the graduated longitudinal bands or those having a first and a second ends, each equipped with a closing and having an open and a closed position, the said open position being a position where the first and the second ends are spaced from one another, whereas the closed position is a position in which the said first end of the said longitudinal band goes over the said second end.
