LINX Reflux Management System Technology
The LINX Reflux Management System is a technology that helps restore sphincter function by augmenting a weak LES (lower esophageal sphincter). It consists of titanium beads with magnetic cores connected by titanium wires. The magnetic beads provide additional strength to keep the LES closed, restoring the reflux barrier. This system works in harmony with the body, preserving the ability to belch and vomit. Unlike Nissen fundoplication, it doesn't alter stomach anatomy and has fewer side effects. Patients can undergo a wide range of imaging tests, including MRI.

Key Facts About GERD and LINX®
GERD, a common condition affecting 1 in 5 Americans, is characterized by chronic heartburn and other symptoms. Lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and the LINX procedure effectively manage GERD. This minimally invasive procedure places a band of magnetic beads around the lower esophageal sphincter to prevent stomach acid reflux. Patients experience heartburn relief, reduced medication dependency, and improved quality of life. LINX treatment is more effective than proton pump inhibitors in relieving symptoms and reducing reflux episodes.
