Description
The Z-Vibe Brush Tip (Hard) by ARK Therapeutic is an innovative tool designed to enhance oral care and therapy. This firm-bristled attachment, presented in a vibrant yellow, is crafted to be used with the Z-Vibe or Z-Grabber handle, which are sold separately. Its primary function is to provide tactile and proprioceptive input to the tongue, cheeks, palate, and lips, making it an excellent aid for individuals transitioning to a regular toothbrush.

Material and Safety
- Medical-Grade Materials: Made in the USA, the brush tip is constructed from FDA-compliant materials, free from lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, and latex.

Care and Cleaning
- Easy Maintenance: Remove the tip from the handle before cleaning. It can be cleaned by scrubbing with mild soap and water, placing in the dishwasher (avoiding the drying cycle), or boiling for a few minutes.
- Hygiene Practices: After hand washing, discard any sponge or brush used, and ensure the tip is completely dry before storage. Each patient should have their own tip, and it should be discarded or given to the patient after the treatment plan is completed.
