ARK's Textured Grabber® P Tube (Hollow Chew Tool)

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. 

You can also 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 colour-coded toughness levels:

• Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything).
• XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough").  It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, typically recommended for moderate chewers*
• XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough").  This is the toughest option in this shape, typically recommended for avid chewers*  

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

Please note: these hollow chews are not recommended as a long lasting option for avid/aggressive chewers.  Check out any other solid chews for longer lasting options.
