Ark Textured Grabber P Tube (Hollow Chew Tool)

Ark's Textured Grabber P Tube is a specialized chew tool designed to support oral motor development and provide sensory input. It is just like the original Textured Grabber, but about 5 cm of the stem is hollow instead of solid. This innovative sensory tool features a hollow stem, allowing for a "collapsible" chewing experience, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals with limited jaw strength or those beginning oral motor therapy.

Textured Grabber P Tube Key Features:

• Hollow Stem Design: Approximately 5 inches (12.7 cm) in length, with about 2 inches (5.08 cm) of the stem being hollow. This design offers less resistance during chewing, making it ideal for individuals who require a softer chew experience or are new to oral motor exercises.
  
• Textured Surface: Equipped with bumps and nubs along the stem, providing tactile sensory input that enhances oral stimulation and feedback.
  
• Ergonomic P Shape: The loop handle measures approximately 2 inches (5.08 cm) across, facilitating an easy grip and enabling users to reach the back molar areas effectively.
• Safe and Durable:Like all Ark products, it is crafted in the USA from medical-grade, FDA-compliant materials, this chew tool is free from lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex, ensuring a safe user experience. While designed for durability, it's important to note that no chew tool is indestructible. Regular inspection is recommended, and the product should be replaced at the first sign of wear or tear.

 Available in three color-coded options to cater to varying chewing needs:​

• Standard (Soft): Recommended for mild chewers or individuals with very limited jaw strength.
  XT (Medium Firm):Offers a firmer option while maintaining moderate chewability.
  XXT (Very Firm): Provides the most resistance, suitable for those requiring robust chewing feedback.

**Important note: because it is hollow, the extension will feel much softer than other ARK chews in the same level. These hollow chews are not recommended as a long lasting option for avid/aggressive chewers.**

Textured Grabber P TubeBenefits:

• Oral Motor Development: Assists in practicing biting and chewing skills, building jaw strength and stability, and exercising mouth muscles.
  
• Feeding Therapy Application: The hollow stem can be filled with puréed foods, allowing for functional biting and chewing practice with the added benefit of tasting food during exercises.
  
• Sensory Input: The textured surface offers additional tactile feedback, beneficial for individuals seeking sensory stimulation.

Ideal for therapists, parents, and caregivers working with individuals who have sensory processing needs, autism, or oral motor difficulties. The Textured Grabber® P Tube serves as a safe alternative to chewing on fingers, clothing, or other non-food items, promoting appropriate chewing habits and aiding in focus and self-regulation.
