Ark Therapeutic
Z-VIBE BITE TUBE
adapt the z-vibe for biting practice
About this product
Developed in partnership with Shari Martin, OTR/L, ARK’s Bite Tube Tip for the Z-Vibe is specially designed for targeted, functional biting and chewing practice.
It has a hollow centre for food which can be filled with puree, sauces and dips. Use the Bite Tube Tip to establish the concept of needing to bite and chew to eat food. It’s also an excellent way to incorporate real food as you practice the motor planning of eating skills.
The Bite Tube Tip comes in two different versions – smooth or textured. For individuals with oral defensiveness, start with the smooth tip and gradually progress to the textured one. For individuals who need more proprioceptive input to the mouth, the textured version provides both tactile input and added resistance.
Use any of these tips to improve chewing motion and jaw strength. If desired, you can trim the Bite Tube Tip to a shorter length with a pair of scissors. A wonderful addition to any feeding / oral motor therapy toolbox!
