ARK Therapeutic - ARK MEGA Krypto-Bite® Chew

00The ARK Therapeutic® MEGA Krypto-Bite® Chew is a larger, handheld version of the popular Krypto-Bite® chew tool, specially designed for individuals who need a bigger, more robust sensory chew. Measuring approximately 16cm long, it provides almost three times the bulk of the original Krypto-Bite®, making it ideal for stronger chewers and those seeking increased oral sensory input.

Designed by ARK Therapeutic and made in the USA from medical-grade, FDA-compliant materials, the MEGA Krypto-Bite® offers a safe alternative to chewing on clothing, pencils, fingers and other inappropriate items. It provides calming proprioceptive input to the jaw, helping to support focus, self-regulation and oral motor development for children, teens and adults with sensory needs.

Unlike the original necklace version, the MEGA Krypto-Bite® is designed as a handheld chew tool. It includes a hole for adding an optional cord if desired but does not include a cord as standard.

Like all ARK chews, it is available in 3 colour-coded toughness levels to suit all chewing needs:

• Standard - The softest level - recommended for mild chewing, individuals with low oral tone, or individuals with limited jaw strength just learning to bite and chew.
• XT / Medium Firm - The middle "Xtra Tough" level is firmer, but still fairly chewy - recommended for moderate chewers. Or, individuals working on building jaw strength can eventually "graduate" from the soft to the XT.
• XXT / Very Firm - The “Xtra Xtra Tough” level is very firm and durable - recommended as the longest lasting level for avid chewers. These are the most firm and provide the most resistance to the jaw.

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 is typically equal to 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 if necessary if the item shows signs of wear and tear.
