ARK’s Grabber® P Tube is just like the original Grabber, but about 2″ of the stem is hollow instead of solid.  The tube-like stem 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 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.

Like all ARK chews, it comes in 3 color-coded toughness levels:

• Standard – This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewing and/or individuals with very limited jaw strength 
• XT / Medium Firm – This is the middle level, which we call XT (“Xtra Tough”).  It’s firmer, but still fairly chewy. 
• XXT / Very Firm – This is the toughest level, which we call XXT (“Xtra Xtra Tough”).  This level provides the most resistance/feedback to the jaw.

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