Cable ties to attach to joists

Hi, I've seen a cable tie type product that can be screwed/nailed to joist then hold the cables in place, now I need them I can't find the website!

Does anyone know where I can get these?

thanks,

I believe this is what you are after:

http://www.screwfix.com/prods/73716/...mm-Pack-of-100

Although it has a self-adhesive back it looks like you can screw them to the surface and feed a standard cable tie through.

Those things are great. Stick in in place first and then whack a screw through and they wont shift! Just dont go too deep with the screw coz itll go straight through the plastic!
