Founded by D. Eugene Hokanson in 1973, Hokanson originally opened its doors to provide instrument and accessories for vascular research and clinical testing at the Seattle Veterans Affairs Hospital and the University of Washington Medical Center. Hokanson developed instruments using pulse wave and continuous wave Doppler technology, three forms of plethysmography, specialized blood pressure cuffs, and blood pressure cuff inflators in order to facilitate groundbreaking peripheral vascular physiological testing. The primary impetus was atherosclerosis, as well as other diseases and conditions that impeded arterial blood flow and venous return. As vascular disease was more widely studied, Hokanson introduced computerized instrumentation for noninvasive blood flow testing and vascular disease diagnosis in human limbs.
Hokanson continues its support for the vascular community with in-kind support of research projects with the University of Washington that improve patient care and patient outcomes. Hokanson is proud to be a women-owned small business located in Bellevue, WA, USA. Our instruments and accessories are made in the USA.
