Need a softer chew? The ARK Bite Tube is a hollow chew tool with a different diameter on each end. Use it as a safe outlet for anyone who needs to chew. Hollow Bite Tubes can also be used as an oral motor tool to work on jaw strength and stability.
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 the hollow Bite Tube to practice biting/chewing skills without the risk of choking, to build jaw strength and stability, and to exercise the mouth muscles. Put puréed foods inside the hollow tube for functional biting/chewing practice – when the individual bites down, they will be rewarded with a taste of food. The two different diameters allow you to work on varying jaw heights. Because the hollow tube provides less resistance than solid chews like the Grabber this is a great "starter" chew tool for individuals with very limited jaw strength. Like all ARK chews, it’s available in 3 color-coded toughness levels to suit all chewing needs:
- Standard: The softest level – recommended for mild chewers who do not chew through anything.
- XT / Medium Firm: The middle "Xtra Tough" level is firmer, but still fairly chewy – recommended for moderate chewers.
- XXT / Very Firm: The “Xtra Xtra Tough” level is very firm and durable – recommended as the longest lasting level for avid chewers.
The Bite Tube Hollow Chew Tool is an ideal outlet for any need to chew – use it to support stress, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, sensory processing needs, therapy needs, and more. It’s also a helpful alternative for common chewing-related habits like tooth grinding, nail biting, stimming, chewing on shirts, pencils, fingers, knuckles, toys, etc., and other oral fixations.
