FORTEX is designed and manufactured by Bio-Medical Research Ltd (BMR), a privately owned company that has been supplying doctors, physiotherapists and physical therapists with specialist medical devices for over 40 years.
BMR has two divisions: NeuroTech which designs and manufactures products for pain relief, muscle exercising and rehabilitation in medical and physical therapy, and Slendertone, which utilises muscle-exercising technology to manufacture body toning products for health and fitness.
