LINX™ Reflux Management System

LINX™ Reflux Management System

The LINX Reflux Management System is a laparoscopic, fundic-sparing anti-reflux procedure indicated for patients diagnosed with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). LINX™ is a flexible ring of small magnets placed around the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)—the strength of the magnets is precisely calibrated to help keep the weak LES closed to prevent reflux.
