With the development of Ukeru® —the first crisis-training program that offers a physical alternative to restraint and seclusion — Virginia-based behavioral health organization Grafton Integrated Health Network succeeded in reducing their use of restraint by 99.8%, eliminating seclusion entirely, and reducing workers’ compensation policy costs and employee turnover for a total return on investment of over $16 million.

The training program developed by Grafton combined with innovative dual-protective blocking pads developed by Amerisewn, Ukeru is revolutionizing treatment in the mental health industry, now integrated in over 100 organizations in 23 states and Canada.

Measured to the same standards of durability and quality demanded by the military, Amerisewn designed the Ukeru pads to withstand challenging altercations, while catering to the unique experiences of the mental health care field. The pads are not only strong and durable, but they are soft & cushioned, lightweight & easy-to-hold — keeping both healthcare professionals and those in their care safe and protected in times of crisis.

London Bridge Trading Inc. (LBT) is a military contractor that designs and makes products for field use and military training. When it comes to complex military goods, there are not many companies in the USA who can design and manufacture; the materials are harder to work with, and the complex products require manufacturing processes that go far beyond sewing. Amerisewn supports LBT by providing manufacturing & need-based product development services.

Working with industrial fabrics and advanced sewing techniques, our employees are specifically trained to make LBT’s military products and combative training gear — including gloves, body shields, batons, and more. Our team understands the importance of our work; from training equipment to protective gear used on the field, we know what it takes to make a quality product that will hold up through the most intense training regimen.

Our team also led product design and development on several products for LBT, including training pads and a riot suit. After hours of research & conversation, prototyping & testing, Amerisewn developed different sets of training pads for the Marines and the Army based on their distinct needs and specifications. We also developed a helmet and riot suit; using our knowledge of advanced materials & protection needs plus a meticulous R&D process, we engineered a riot suit and helmet that assure the utmost protection.
