LINX Reflux Management System
The LINX Reflux Management System consists of a series of titanium beads each with a magnetic core connected with independent titanium wires to form an annular shape when implanted. The attractive force of the magnetic beads is designed to provide additional strength to keep a weak lower esophageal sphincter (LES) closed. During swallowing, the magnetic beads slide away from each other on the independent titanium wire "links" to allow esophageal distention as the bolus passes by.
