flag Johnson & Johnson will halt global sales of its Linx reflux device by March 2026, citing market reasons, despite no safety issues.

flag Johnson & Johnson will stop selling its Linx Reflux Management System outside the U.S. by March 2026 due to market-related factors, though the device remains available in the U.S. flag The decision, which cites no safety issues, has drawn concern from doctors who say it may harm patients, especially those awaiting lung transplants, and could reverse progress in treating severe acid reflux. flag The Linx device, which uses magnetic beads to strengthen the esophageal sphincter, has been widely used since 2007 and offers benefits over traditional surgery. flag While a replacement device exists in parts of Europe, it lacks long-term data and broad access. flag The company will continue supporting existing patients and providers in affected regions.
