The ARK Bite Tube™ Hollow is a lightweight, cylindrical chew tool designed to provide oral motor input and jaw exercise in a safe, effective way. Its open-centre tube shape allows for compression when bitten, making it ideal for individuals who need a gentler chewing experience. This chew is especially helpful for children and adults with autism, ADHD, oral sensory seeking, or speech and feeding challenges.

Designed by therapists, the hollow Bite Tube™ helps build jaw strength and stability while promoting appropriate chewing behaviours. It's also an excellent alternative to chewing on hands, shirts, or pens – helping with self-regulation and focus at school, home, or in therapy. The simple shape allows for easy molar placement, making it suitable for building chewing skills or as part of a sensory diet.

Made from safe, medical-grade materials and available in three colour-coded firmness levels (sold separately), the ARK Bite Tube™ is a must-have oral motor tool for any sensory or speech therapy toolkit.

• Hollow design offers mild resistance – ideal for gentle chewers and jaw development
• Supports speech, feeding, and sensory regulation
• Discreet, portable, and easy to grip or use hands-free

Caution: This product is not a toy.
Although the Ark chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Some individuals particularly those with strong oral sensory needs or who chew aggressively may be able to damage them in a short period of time. The lifespan of each tool depends on a variety of factors, including individual chewing intensity and whether the user is receiving support from an occupational therapist.
Please supervise use at all times and replace the item if it shows signs of wear and tear. We are unable to offer refunds for chews that have been used. Finding the right chew is often a process of trial and error—please contact us for help and advice.
