Features & Benefits
Registered EU Class I medical device
Patented arm pocket design for side sleeping
Creates a gentle incline of 15-20 degrees
Made of durable medical grade foams
3 different sizes for patient comfort
8 completed clinical trials: Cleveland Clinic, USC, MUSC
Studies have shown that sleeping at an incline decreases the frequency of reflux episodes and allows the body to clear reflux at a quicker rate. Provided the entire torso is elevated, the incline gives gravity a little boost in its power to return reflux to the stomach.
And, if reflux occurs, gravity quickly returns the contents to the stomach. This ideal relief position decreases the patient’s heartburn symptoms and provides protection from prolonged acid exposure to the esophagus, throat, lungs, and sinuses.
THIS 3-COMPONENT SYSTEM WAS THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED TO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL RELIEF AND COMFORT FOR YOUR PATIENTS.
- The Reflux Relief Wedge provides a 15-to-20-degree elevation and a patented arm pocket for side-sleeping comfort and prevents sliding down.
- The Therapeutic Body Pillow provides support under the head and neck, while extending through the knees to provide lower back support. This component also includes additional support to ensure side-sleeping positional compliance.
- The Insert Pillow,which resides in the arm pocket of the Reflux Relief Wedge, is adjustable and provides support for the head and shoulder.

How the Reflux Relief System fits into current patient treatment pathways
LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS
MedCline can be the first line of defense system against nocturnal GERD. Paired with lifestyle medications, many of our current users report their symptoms to be lessened or even eliminated. As a comfortable, practical solution for GERD, the Reflux Relief System allows patients to continue to easily implement lifestyle modifications in the comfort of their own bed.
STANDAR BED WEDGES
Although the standard bed wedge is widely recognized as one of the most common treatments for GERD, the Reflux Relief System has been clinically proven to provide better relief and rest for those with nocturnal GERD. In fact, 87% less acid exposure in the esophagus was measured when using MedCline compared to a bed wedge. MedCline also provides comfortable side sleeping support, allowing the patient to maintain the ideal inclined + left side sleeping position without sliding down.
PPI MEDICATIONS
The Reflux Relief System offers a treatment option for patients who are interested in exploring alternative natural solutions prior to PPI medication. For those who are already taking PPI medications to manage their reflux, MedCline helps the 20-30% of the PPI-refractory patients who still experience break-through symptoms while taking PPIs. In many cases, the Reflux Relief System has also helped those taking PPI medications lower their dosage over time, especially during the night.
