ARK's DnZ-Vibe® Carry Kit

Kit includes: 1 DnZ-Vibe®, 1 Probe Tip, and 1 Preefer Tip, all in a handy Carry Case. The unit comes with a special Vibe Battery not available in stores. We recommend buying a spare. Carry Case colors may vary.

ARK's DnZ-Vibe® is a unique vibratory tool with extraordinary versatility for oral motor therapy and beyond. Even though it is only the size of a ball point pen, the DnZ-Vibe® provides a vast range of sensory stimulation. With over 30 interchangeable tips available in different shapes, sizes, colors, and scents, the possibilities are endless!

Why Vibration?
Most people are either auditory or visual learners. Sometimes, however, these two senses are not enough, and we must look to other options, such as the sense of touch. Speech-Language Pathologists have been trained to use tactile input to teach individuals how to lateralize their tongue, elevate their tongue tip, make a tongue bowl, close their lips, learn a rotary chew, position the articulators for sound production, and various other oral motor skills. The DnZ-Vibe® is a tool to help therapists work on these skills in and around the mouth. It can always be used in the off position without vibration. Or, it can be turned on for additional sensory input with its smooth, gentle vibrations. Vibration provides a new level of sensory stimulation to increase awareness and to draw more acute attention to the articulators. Many individuals also find vibration to be calming and soothing.

MADE in the USA out of medical grade, FDA compliant materials that contain NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.

Caution: this therapeutic tool should be used under adult supervision at all times. When changing tips and/or the battery, please use caution as the unit contains small parts that pose a choking hazard.

• The DnZ-Vibe® has a lightweight, portable design. The handle (excluding the tip) measures about 4.67" in length and less than ½ an inch in diameter.
• One end of the handle is sealed off from the internal components so that no saliva, water, or moisture can enter from that end while working in the mouth. The Switch Tip at the opposite end of the handle turns the unit on and off and can be easily removed to replace the battery.
• The Switch Tip can also be replaced with another tip in order to use two tips simultaneously. For example, with the Probe Tip on one end and the Preefer Tip on the other, you can first "wake up" the mouth with the Probe Tip before quickly switching to the Preefer Tip for when a "rolling" action is desired.
• Made in the USA! The DnZ-Vibe® and all of its tips are manufactured in the United States from medical grade materials that are FDA compliant and contain no lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.
• The DnZ-Vibe® is a durable and multi-functional tool that will last for years with proper care. As long as the hand piece is properly maintained, it is a one-time purchase. You need only replace the battery and/or a lost part as needed in order to make your unit brand new!
• For a more affordable and colorful option (plus easier cleaning and maintenance), buy this kit with a Plastic DnZ-Vibe® handle.

• Stimulate the gums, palate, lips, and tongue with the DnZ-Vibe®'s smooth, gentle vibrations.
• Use it to "wake up" the mouth and increase oral awareness, to decrease oral sensitivities, to target specific articulators, and to improve a variety of skills during feeding and oral motor therapy.
• While the DnZ-Vibe® is mainly used for oral motor stimulation, it can also be used outside the mouth on the cheeks, neck, and arms for added sensory input.
• To work on specific goals, the DnZ-Vibe® has over 30 additional interchangeable tips available for targeted uses. For example, use a Fine Tip to isolate a specific spot in the oral cavity, or a Sylvie Spoon Tip to assist in the transition from puréed to textured foods.

Please note: the second video features the ProPreefer, but the same exercises can be done with the Preefer Tip. Both products have the same tip design, but the Preefer Tip is to be used with either the Z-Vibe® or DnZ-Vibe® for added vibration and sensory input.

I like this case to keep the DnZ-Vibe in. It looks professional and keeps it clean. I normally keep it in a ziplock bag but this is so much better. Worth it!!!
