The ARK Bite Tube Hollow Chew Tool (Textured) is a hollow chew tool with a different diameter on each end and a different texture on each end, bumps on one side and ribs on the other. It gives a safe outlet for anyone who needs to chew and doubles as an oral motor tool for working on jaw strength and stability.

Because it is hollow rather than solid, the tube collapses more easily under bite pressure than a solid chew, making it a gentler starting option for anyone with limited jaw strength. The two different diameters allow practice at varying jaw heights, and the hollow centre can be used to hold puréed food for functional biting and chewing practice. It measures approximately 12.7 cm long overall, with one end 1.3 cm in diameter and the other 1 cm in diameter (5 in long, 0.5 in and 0.4 in in diameter).

Everyday practical benefits

• Two textures and two diameters in one tool, giving varied sensory feedback and jaw positions to work with.
• Hollow design collapses more easily than a solid chew, suited to those building up jaw strength.
• Available in three colour-coded toughness levels, from soft everyday chewing to a firmer, longer-lasting option.
• Made from medical-grade elastomer in the manufacturer's own factory for consistent quality.
• Handwash or top-rack dishwasher safe, making it easy to keep clean between uses.

Like all ARK chews, this tool is available in three toughness levels: Standard (softest, recommended for mild chewing or limited jaw strength), XT (medium-firm, for moderate chewers), and XXT (very firm, the longest-lasting option for avid chewers).

This product is suitable for ages 3 years and over and must always be used under direct supervision. Regularly inspect it and replace it at the first sign of wear.
