Ark - Grabber® P Tube Chew Tool - Hollow & Textured (Individual)

Perfect size and shape for little hands! Hollow for a collapsible feedback as they bite and chew. The bumps and nubs help provide extra sensory input and tactile feedback

ARK's Textured Grabber® P Tube is just like the original Textured Grabber, but about 2" of the stem is hollow instead of solid.  The tube-like extension is perfect for individuals who want their chew tool to "collapse" more, whether as a sensory chew and/or in feeding therapy. 

As an oral motor tool, use it to practice biting/chewing skills without the risk of choking, build jaw strength and stability, and exercise the mouth muscles.  Put puréed foods inside the tube for functional biting/chewing practice so that the individual gets a taste of food when they bite down.  Because the hollow tube provides less resistance than the solid original Grabbers, this is a great "starter" chew tool for individuals with very limited jaw strength.  The bumps and nubs help provide extra sensory input and tactile feedback.

Like all ARK chews, it comes in 3 color-coded toughness level

Chew Toughness Levels

• Standard/Soft - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything) and/or those with limited jaw strength. Chewing occasionally, sucking on items like collars and cuffs

• XT (Xtra Tough) Medium/Firm - This is the middle level, It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers. Chewing harder items and chewing semi-regularly

• XXT (Xtra Xtra Tough) Very Firm - This is the toughest level, It still has some “chewability” to it, but it’s pretty firm (although not as firm/tough as our solid chews). Recommended for avid chewers – chewing regularly and intensely

Details:

• Made in the USA, medical grade, FDA compliant

• NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex

• If you are looking for a long lasting chew tool for avid chewing, we recommend solid chews over hollow chews
  

• Please note: because it is hollow, the extension will feel much softer than other solid ARK chews in the same level

• 2" across the loop, 5" long, and 0.5" thick

• Recommended for individuals of all ages and abilities under the guidance of a therapist or a trained caregiver 

Caution: This product is not a toy.  Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible.  Wear/tear may be expected given the nature of the intended use.  How long they last is typically equal to the amount and intensity of the chewing, as well as other variables (such as jaw strength, stress/anxiety levels, if other sensory strategies are in place, etc.).  While for some people a chew tool will last forever, for others with heavy/aggressive oral needs, they may go through it very quickly.  Please supervise at all times, regularly inspect the chew, and replace at first sign of wear and tear.  

⚠️ Warning - Choking Hazard. Contains Small Parts - Children are to be supervised at all times whilst using it.
