== About ==

ExAC AS is a Norwegian medical device company developing an external aortic compression device for controlling severe postpartum hemorrhage (postpartum bleeding). Founded in 2019.

== Clinical Need ==

According to the company and WHO data:

* 300,000 women die annually during pregnancy or within the first six weeks after delivery
* 830 maternal deaths per day globally
* Bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage) is the leading cause of maternal death
* WHO recommends the use of external aortic compression as a first-aid measure while awaiting emergency care

== Technology ==

ExAC's device enables external aortic compression — applying pressure to the aorta (the main artery from the heart) to reduce blood flow to the uterus and help control bleeding. This can be a life-saving first-aid intervention in both resource-limited settings and emergency situations where standard interventions (surgery, medications) are not immediately available.

== Market Position ==

The company targets the global maternal health market with a device that could be used by non-specialist health workers in low-resource settings and by emergency responders.
