ARK's Textured Goshabunga Grabber® P Tube is a larger version of the original hollow Textured Grabber. Although teens and adults can use the original as well, this Goshabunga version has a much larger loop to comfortably fit larger hands, and the stem is about 0.8 cm longer. The tactile bumps and nubs provide extra sensory input.

About 5 cm 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
• 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 Grabber versions, this is a great "starter" chew tool for individuals with limited jaw strength.

Toughness Levels

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

1. Standard (Yellow): This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewing and/or individuals with very limited jaw strength
2. XT / Medium Firm (Bright Blue): This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough"). It's firmer, but still fairly chewy.
3. XXT / Very Firm (Orange): 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 solid ARK chews in the same level.

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 typically depends on 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.
