About Hokanson

D.E. Hokanson, Inc. (Hokanson) provides noninvasive diagnostic instruments of the highest quality to the medical community – manufacturing instruments with a commitment to excellence in research, materials and workmanship. Hokanson is actively involved in providing technology for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) clinical testing, and created an easy-to-use Portable ABI Kit (Ankle Brachial Index) for primary care clinicians new to vascular disease. Hokanson also provides instrumentation for both research and clinical application in peripheral vascular disease and modifies and improves its products to reflect changing needs and the latest technology. With five patents for innovative technology to improve user experience and for components of their devices, Hokanson has been both an innovative and reliable resource for the vascular community.

Founded by D. Eugene Hokanson 36 years ago, Hokanson originally opened its doors to provide instruments 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 impede 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.
