The Linx Reflux Management System helps treat GERD when medication is not enough. During surgery, the Linx is implanted around the lower esophageal sphincter and magnetic beads help the valve close. When you swallow, belch or vomit, the beads will open. A minimally invasive treatment, Linx helps prevent acid reflux. It is also a reversible procedure. Patients are able to go home the same day of surgery and can resume eating a normal diet.
