In a randomized controlled trial, patients treated with LINX experienced improved quality of life (GERD-HRQL scores) while patients treated with BID PPIs did not.1*

98%

of LINX patients were free from moderate to severe regurgitation 12 months post-op1†

91%

of patients treated with LINX had discontinued GERD medication  at study completion1‡

Features & Benefits

Simply designed to be simple

Simply designed to be simple

LINX is a flexible ring of small magnets placed around the LES during a minimally invasive procedure and requires no alteration to stomach anatomy.2,3 ¶ The magnetic strength of the beads is designed to help a weak LES close to prevent acid reflux.4 When patients swallow LINX opens temporarily to allow food and liquid to pass.4
