Don’t Compromise… Get Long-Term Gerd Relief With LINX®1*
LINX® is not a pill. It’s a revolutionary treatment for GERD that is clinically shown to produce consistent, lasting results.1-3† After treatment with LINX®, 99% of patients no longer experienced regurgitation.1 Over 85% were free of heartburn—and no longer needed daily reflux medication!1‡ Just imagine what long-lasting GERD relief might be like for you.
How LINX® Works
LINX® is a small, flexible ring placed around the lower esophagus, right above the opening to the stomach. It keeps harmful stomach acid from flowing back up into the esophagus, where it can cause painful heartburn and damage. With LINX®, acid stays in the stomach, where it belongs. See a short video on how LINX® works.
A Short Outpatient Procedure
LINX® is implanted during a minimally invasive, same-day procedure that is generally completed in less than one hour.4-6§ Patients typically go home within 24 hours, and most return to normal activities in just a few days.6¶ And, best of all, they can resume a regular diet.7
