Cook Incorporated Bloomington, Indiana
Cook Incorporated's commitment to product innovation, skilled hand-craftsmanship and unsurpassed customer satisfaction has earned the company worldwide recognition among medical professionals. Recognizing early on the clinical value of the Seldinger percutaneous entry technique that led to dramatic reductions in the need for risky open surgical procedures, Cook Incorporated became the first U.S. manufacturer to produce matched sets of needles, catheters and wire guides needed to perform this procedure.
That foresight put Cook Incorporated at the start of a revolution in medical technology and led to international success. The company, which started in a spare bedroom in 1963, now manufactures more than 50,000 individual products sold worldwide. The company is acknowledged as a leading manufacturer of catheters, wire guides, introducer needles and sheaths, stents and stent grafts, embolization coils, intraluminal filters and other minimally invasive devices.
