ARK's Bite Tube
Product number:
BITETUBE100XTGr
Product information "ARK's Bite Tube"
ARK's Bite Tube is a hollow chew tool with a different diameter on each end.
Use it as a safe alternative for anyone who needs to chew. They 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 it 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 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 normal Grabber, this is a great "starter" chew tool for individuals with very limited jaw strength.
Each chew measures about 12,7cm long overall, 1,3cm in diameter on one end, and 1cm in diameter on the other end.
It is hollow all the way through the core. Like all ARK chews, the Bite Tube is available in 3 color-coded toughness levels:
- Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything) and/or those with limited jaw strength
- XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough"). It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers
- XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough"). It still has some “chewability” to it, but it’s fairly pretty firm (although not as firm/tough as our solid chews).
Note: if you are looking for a long lasting chew tool for avid chewing, we recommend solid chews over hollow chews. Check out the Tetra-Bite for example.
- Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.
- Each Bite Tube is sold individually - choose which option you'd like from the pull-down menu above.
- Exact color hues may vary slightly.
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.

ARK Guitar Oral Motor Chew
€13.95*
The guitar teether supports chewing by reaching the back molars with a long extension.
The smooth loop makes it easy to hold, while uneven surfaces provide sensory and tactile stimulation. The guitar-like design encourages chewing training and desensitization of the mouth, which is especially helpful for oral defense and transition to solid foods. The item serves as a safe, alternative chew toy that reduces chewing on objects such as hands or pens, trains jaw strength and satisfies the need to chew during tube feeding.
Here you will find exercises for jaw graduation and stability. ARK Guitar is available in 3 color-coded degrees of hardness:
Standard / soft - This is the softest level recommended for light chewing.XT / medium - This is the medium level recommended for moderate chewing. XXT / hard - This is the hardest level, recommended for heavy chewing.The guitar is 13.7cm long and approx. 1.3cm thickAll ARK products are dishwasher safe, can be boiled, cleaned in aldehyde-free disinfectant, or simply washed with mild soap.Medical grade, FDA compliant. NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA or latex Caution: This product is not a toy. Although these chewing tools are robust and durable, no chewing tool is indestructible. Wear and tear is to be expected due to the intended use. How long they last usually depends on the amount and intensity of chewing as well as other variables (e.g. jaw strength, stress/anxiety level, whether other sensory strategies are used, etc.). While for some people a chewing tool will last forever, for others with severe/aggressive oral needs it may be used up very quickly. Please supervise the chew at all times, check it regularly and replace it if necessary when it shows signs of wear.
ARK Premium One-Way Valve
€26.95*
ARK's Premium One-Way Valve makes drinking easier by controlling the direction of fluid - fluid flows up into the straw, but does not empty back into the cup.Because fluid always stays at the top of the straw, less effort is required for each sip and less air is ingested. As a result, users tend to experience less coughing while consuming more fluids. The valve is easy to take apart, clean, and put back together.Highly recommended for individuals with oral motor difficulties, a weak suck, or problems generating and maintaining suction. Made in the USA out of stainless steel that will not rustAll parts can be boiled in water to ensure sanitary conditions Sold individually Compatible with most regular drinking straws measuring .25" in diameter
Measures just over 2 inches in length Included in the package is an extra (spare) stainless steel ball and washer Not recommended for carbonated beverages Recommended for thin liquids (water, milk, juice without pulp, etc).
This may vary by brand of thickener, but in general if you're using thickened liquids, "nectar" consistency works fine. "Honey" is a bit harder to suck through the straw, but it does work. "Pudding" does not work, as it's too thick to drink through even a regular straw without a valve. CAUTION: Contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard; please supervise at all times.
