As I have written before, many of my problems started with the Nissen Fundoplication. And until now this has been the only way to permanently relive Acid reflux (GERD).
But now The Linx™ anti-reflux treatment system has become available. There have begun a commercial launch in Europe. And the Linx™ has already been implanted in over 150 patients worldwide.
I think it about time that something else that hopefully will work better, and with fewer complications would come on the marked.
This is implanted with the use of laparoscopic, the same as Nissen Fundoplication. So I do hope that they will have less problems But in the world today, no matter how technological we have become, Surgery is still risky business.
Torax Medical Inc. has received CE Mark certification for its LINX™ Anti-Reflux Treatment system.
Unfortunately is has only been approved as an investigational device in the United States.
But if this is a good solution, we can only hope that Linx™ soon will be approved there as well.
I look forward to follow The Linx™ and to see what this will do to relive the world of Acid reflux.
