ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Torax Medical announced today the publication of new data comparing the LINX® Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation Device and laparoscopic fundoplication surgery in 249 patients. Data from this study significantly adds to the growing body of evidence that the LINX device is a safe and effective procedure for patients suffering from gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). Current surgical options (fundoplication) require the patient’s stomach tissue to be wrapped around the esophagus to create a barrier to reflux. The LINX device provides protection from reflux without compromising the patient’s stomach while minimizing the side effects commonly associated with the present surgical approaches.
