LINX® Reflux Management System
A modern, minimally invasive solution designed to restore the natural barrier against acid reflux while preserving normal swallowing.
What Is LINX?
The LINX system is a small ring of magnetic beads placed around the lower esophagus during a minimally invasive procedure. The magnetic beads gently support the natural valve, preventing acid from flowing upward while still allowing food and liquids to pass normally.
How Does LINX Work?
- The magnetic ring stays closed at rest to prevent reflux.
- It opens naturally when swallowing.
- It allows belching when needed, reducing gas buildup.
- Restores normal function without altering anatomy.
Who Is LINX For?
- Patients with chronic acid reflux not controlled with medications
- Alternative seekers to traditional fundoplication
- Patients with a small to moderate hiatal hernia
- Those wanting to maintain natural stomach function
Why Patients Choose LINX
Many patients prefer LINX because it offers a balance between effective reflux control and preservation of natural function.
It is designed for patients who want a long-term solution without feeling restricted, and who wish to maintain a more normal eating and lifestyle experience.
