THE LINX REFLUX MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: STOP REFLUX AT ITS SOURCE

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic, often progressive disease resulting from a weak Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES). The LINX® Reflux Management System augments the weak LES, restoring the body’s natural barrier to reflux.

How Does the LINX System Work?

The LINX System is a small flexible band of interlinked titanium beads with magnetic cores. The magnetic attraction between the beads is intended to help the LES resist opening to gastric pressures, preventing reflux from the stomach into the esophagus. LINX is designed so that swallowing forces temporarily break the magnetic bond, allowing food and liquid to pass normally into the stomach. Magnetic attraction of the device is designed to close the LES immediately after swallowing, restoring the body’s natural barrier to reflux.

LINX® is prescribed by your physician. It is not for everyone. Please talk to your physician to see if it is right for you. Your physician should discuss any potential benefits and risks with you. Although many patients benefit from LINX, results may vary. All surgical procedures carry risk. LINX does not treat gastric or esophageal cancer, Barrett’s esophagus, pain, anxiety or sleep disorders.
