What is the Dr.Join Knee Support from BMS CO., LTD.?
The Dr.Join Knee Support by BMS CO., LTD. is an adjustable external knee support. A set has two supports with silicone parts and elastic springs, plus four straps in sizes S and L. This product is not sold or registered as a medical device in the UK.
This note is for readers in the UK who have come across the name and want to understand what the product is. It sets out what the instructions for use say about the support, and it does not offer the product for sale.
What do the instructions for use say?
The cover of the instructions for use calls it an adjustable external knee support. The instructions describe the working principle in terms of the parts. Silicone supports wrap around the knee, and an elastic spring on each side of the knee supports the side ligaments. A non-slip guide helps the support stay in place during movement, and a strap sets how snug it feels.
What is in the set, and what size is it?

How is it worn?
The support sits slightly below the kneecap, so that the central silicone support fits around the lower part of the kneecap. The triangle mark points upwards. There is no left or right version, and the support can be worn on bare, intact skin or over thin clothing. It is not for wear while sleeping.
What is its position in the UK?
This product is not sold or registered as a medical device in the UK. This note describes the product as its English instructions for use present it, so that readers can understand it. It is not an offer to sell it, and it is not a statement that the product meets any UK requirement.
Before you use
Do NOT use this product:
- On open wounds, or on skin that is infected, inflamed, or severely irritated.
- If you are allergic to any of its materials.
- While sleeping.
- If the product is damaged, deformed, or the springs are bent out of shape.
- If you cannot feel or communicate pressure or discomfort (unless directed and supervised by a healthcare professional).
Talk to a doctor before using this product if you have an acute (recent) knee injury, a suspected fracture or severe swelling; a skin condition where the support will be worn; poor blood circulation, diabetes or reduced skin sensation in your legs; or if you have recently had knee surgery.
Warnings from the instructions for use:
- Do not overtighten the straps. Excessive compression can restrict blood flow and may cause numbness, tingling, skin damage, or injury. Loosen or remove the support immediately if any of these occur.
- Stop using this product and consult a healthcare professional right away if you experience pain, numbness, tingling, loss of sensation, skin rash, discolouration, unusual coldness, or swelling while wearing it. Continued use may make the condition worse.
- Do not use on damaged or irritated skin. If the skin under the support becomes irritated, stop using it until the skin has fully recovered, and see a doctor if the irritation continues.
- Do not modify, cut, disassemble, or repair this product, and do not bend the springs out of shape. A damaged product may fail to support your knee properly and may cause injury.
- Keep this product away from small children and pets. The straps may pose an entanglement risk.
This product is not intended to diagnose any condition, and it is not a substitute for professional medical care, rehabilitation, or exercise. It supports the knee from the outside. Individual results vary, and no support product works the same way for everyone. This product will not prevent all knee injuries.
