LINX is a flexible ring of small magnets placed around the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)—the strength of the magnets is precisely calibrated to help keep the weak LES closed to prevent reflux. An innovative surgical treatment for GERD clinically shown …

The LINX Reflux Management System is a flexible ring of small magnets placed around the esophagus just above the stomach during a minimally invasive procedure to help prevent reflux.

Background: The LINX ® magnetic sphincter augmentation system (MSA) is a surgical technique with short-term evidence demonstrating efficacy in the treatment of medically refractory or chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Currently, the Nissen fundoplication is the gold-standard surgical treatment for GERD.

Lynx Rescuers provide fall arrest and emergency lifting and lowering for confined space. The same unit can be used in the field and for training situations. Emergency retrieval capabilities and the easiest, quickest reset mechanism on the market

The magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) device (also known as Linx Reflux Management System) is a small ring of magnetic beads. It helps keep acid in your stomach. It's used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is the backward flow of stomach acid into the esophagus, the tube that carries food and...

2024年5月8日 · Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) is performed using the LINX Reflux Management System, a unique device that treats gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by augmenting the native lower esophageal sphincter (LES) using magnets.

A: The LINX ® system works by creating a pressure of approximately 25 mm at the gastroesophageal junction (the place where the esophagus and stomach meet). Weight gain increases the pressure inside the abdomen, so it is possible that significant weight gain can create more pressure than the LINX ® valve can counteract, leading to the return ...

The LINX Reflux Management System is indicated for patients diagnosed with pathologic Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) as defined by abnormal pH testing, and who continue to have chronic GERD symptoms despite maximum medical therapy. Instructions for use are found in the information that accompanied the product packaging.

The LINX magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) device is a promising antireflux surgical treatment, in which a ring of magnetic beads is laparoscopically placed at the distal esophagus to increase lower esophageal tone. MSA has been shown to provide excellent treatment of PPI-resistant GERD with minimal side effects [10–12].

2020年8月13日 · The magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) procedure (Linx Reflux Management System, Ethicon, Johnson & Johnson, Shoreview, Mn, USA) was developed as a less disruptive...
