Short Overview

The LINX Reflux Management System consists of a series of titanium beads with magnetic cores that are connected with independent titanium wires to form an annular shape.¹
The LINX device is placed at the area of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) designed to augment a weak LES and minimize or eliminate GERD related symptoms.¹

The LINX Reflux Management System is comprised of the following components:¹

• LINX Device,
• LINX Esophagus Sizing Tool.

Sizing of the Esophagus:²
The LINX Esophagus Sizing Tool is a sterile, single use device that is used as an accessory to the LINX Reflux Management System (packaged separately). The device has a soft, circular curved tip that is actuated by coaxial tubes via a handset. The handset contains numerical indicators that correspond to the size range of the LINX implant.²
Use the LINX Esophagus Sizing Tool to determine the LINX implant size. The LINX implant sizes are denoted within the product code (e.g., LXM16 = 16 Bead Implant).²
