LINX Reflux Management System

The LINX Reflux Management System is indicated for patients diagnosed with pathologic Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD) as defined by abnormal pH testing, and who continue to have chronic GORD symptoms despite maximum medical therapy.

Redefining the Surgical Treatment of Reflux Disease

How LINX Works

LINX is a small, flexible ring of magnets placed around the Oesophagus during a minimally  invasive procedure.

The magnets help to keep the lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) closed so that acid and bile  do not flow from the stomach to the Oesophagus.

When you eat or drink, the forces from swallowing cause the magnets to separate, the LINX device to expand, and the LOS to open for food or liquid to pass into the stomach.

MRI Conditional

The LINX device is MRI conditional, so patients can undergo magnetic resonance imaging up to either 0.7-Tesla (0.7T) or 1.5-Tesla (1.5T), depending on the LINX model implanted.
