Patients suffering from acid reflux into the throat and lungs have in common a dysfunctional upper esophageal sphincter (UES). A poorly functioning UES can result in regurgitation of stomach contents into the larynx, pharynx and lungs. Acid reflux causes many challenging symptoms that constitute a spectrum of disorders including chronic throat irritation and cough, hoarse voice, difficulty swallowing, postnasal drip, sleep disruption and pneumonia.

The REzA BAndTM was created to improve the quality of life for millions of patients suffering from acid reflux into the throat and lungs. This revolutionary, safe, simple and powerfully effective medical device relieves and eliminates the symptoms associated with this widespread condition.
