ARK Z-Vibe® Plus Oral Motor Tool

More control. More flexibility. The next generation of the trusted Z-Vibe.

For more than 20 years, the ARK Z-Vibe® has been a trusted tool used by therapists and families to support oral motor, feeding and sensory goals. The new Z-Vibe Plus builds on that familiar system, giving therapists and caregivers more control over the type and level of vibration used.

Like the original Z-Vibe, the Plus delivers vibration directly through the tip attachment, providing sensory input where it is needed. What makes the Plus different is its ability to adjust the intensity and mode of vibration, making it easier to tailor the experience to the individual.

Start with a gentle level for someone who is particularly sensitive to vibration, increase the intensity when stronger input is preferred, or use the pulsing mode to add another dimension to therapy activities.

The Z-Vibe Plus is also compatible with the entire range of 45+ ARK Z-Vibe tips, meaning existing tips can continue to be used with the new handle.

What's new with the Z-Vibe Plus?

Three vibration levels

Choose between low, medium and high intensity to better match the individual's needs. The medium setting provides the same vibration level as the original Z-Vibe, while the low setting offers a gentler starting point and the high setting provides stronger sensory input.

This can be particularly useful when working with individuals who have different sensory preferences, or when needs change over time.

Smooth or pulsing vibration

The Z-Vibe Plus offers two vibration modes:

• Smooth, continuous vibration
• Pulsing vibration

The pulsing mode can add variety to oral motor activities and may be useful when incorporating rhythm, counting repetitions or creating more engaging therapy activities.

Double-ended design

One of the standout features of the Z-Vibe Plus is the ability to attach a compatible tip to both ends of the handle.

This allows therapists or caregivers to switch between two different tips or activities without stopping to remove and change attachments — particularly useful when working through multiple oral motor or feeding goals during a session.

Built-in memory

The Z-Vibe Plus remembers the last vibration intensity used and returns to that setting when switched back on. This can help maintain consistency between uses without needing to reset the intensity each time.

The original Z-Vibe remains a fantastic choice for those who prefer one simple, consistent vibration level in a slim, lightweight and whisper-quiet handle. The Plus is ideal for those wanting more flexibility to adjust the sensory input as therapy goals or individual needs change.

Why choose the Z-Vibe Plus?

The biggest advantage of the Plus is adjustability.

Rather than having one fixed level of vibration, you can start gently and gradually increase the intensity where appropriate. This gives therapists and caregivers more flexibility when supporting individuals with different sensory preferences or when introducing vibration gradually.

The ability to use two tips at once can also make sessions more efficient, while the pulsing mode adds another option for incorporating rhythm and variety into activities.

Importantly, if you already own ARK Z-Vibe tips, they remain compatible with the Plus — so you can upgrade the handle without replacing your existing collection of attachments.

Caution: the Z-Vibe is NOT a toy. It is a therapeutic tool intended to be used by a professional therapist (or by parents trained by their therapist). It contains small parts (including a battery) that may pose a choking hazard: direct adult supervision is required at all times.
