Interesting product but where can you buy it in the UK?

Agreed, but would they fulfil building regs requirements in the UK
though, I wonder?

I don't see mention of a BBA certificate, so building regs may get
upset, Given how simple they look, I would imagine you can make
something similar with ease.

They look dodgy to me, they don't span enough of the joist, and we don't
normally use that type of I joist anyway.

Agreed, the length looks too short to be of real value, more like someone
thought it would be a good idea & had some made up without doing a
proper mechanical design.

I don't think they'd be very effective but a structural engineer would
know for sure. Better would be a long steel strap under the joist with
a lot of screw fixing points. You might have to cut it in to give a
flat ceiling.
