The Krypto-Bite chewable necklace is an innovative creation by ARK, designed as a safe, wearable, and discreet solution for children and adults with a need to chew. This stylish crystal pendant is designed to be loved by people of all ages and genders. Use this "chewelry" as an oral fidget to calm, soothe, and promote self-regulation during stressful moments, or to enhance concentration during homework and other activities.
Based on the extension of the Grabber®, the prism-shaped pendant also offers three color-coded toughness levels:
- Standard (Strong): This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything).
- XT (Extra Strong): This is the medium level. It's firmer but still reasonably chewable, recommended for moderate chewers.
- XXT (Extra Extra Strong): This is the firmest level. It still has some "chewability," but it's fairly rigid.
No chew tool is indestructible, but this is usually the most durable level for avid chewers. Choose your option from the menu. Each pendant is sold individually with its own breakaway necklace cord. Or, buy multiple pendants and create your own unique chew necklace. Color hues may vary slightly.
The Krypto-Bite chewable necklace is made of medical-grade, FDA compliant material without lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex. This chewable necklace is designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA by ARK Therapeutic.
Caution: this product is not a toy. The clasp and cord are not meant for chewing. They contain small parts that may pose a choking hazard - direct supervision required. Recommended for ages 5 and up. Though these chew tools are robust and durable, wear and tear can be expected given the nature of the intended use.
21 years ago, ARK's Grabber® was the first solution specifically for children needing a safe alternative to chewing on their hands, clothes, pencils, etc. This prism-shaped pendant is modeled after that same Grabber® but shaped into a fun and fashionable design for biting, chewing, and oral motor input. It's designed to look like regular jewelry, making the Krypto-Bite® a very discreet way to chew.
The pendant measures 3 inches long and 0.5 inches in diameter, which is very similar in size to the extension of the Grabber®. The cord is approximately 36 inches long. If desired, you can shorten the cord by pulling the thread out of the clasp, retying the knot at a shorter length, and then trimming the excess thread. This chewelry is especially recommended for individuals with autism, sensory needs, anxiety, ADHD, and the like.
