Description
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 pureed 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.
2" across the loop, 5" long, and 0.5" thick.
Toughness Guide:
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. It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers.
XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level. It still has some chewability to it, but it's fairly rigid / pretty firm. No chew tool is indestructible, but this is usually the longest lasting level for avid chewers.
