• wherein the clip comprises a first leg and a second leg and wherein transitioning the clip to a closed configuration comprises moving the first leg and the second leg towards each other;
• wherein at least one of the first leg and the second leg includes a concavely curved internal surface that at least partially defines the opening;
• wherein the clip is positioned in an open configuration around the bag and the suctioning device and the concavely curved internal surface is positioned around a portion of the suctioning device;
• wherein the suctioning device comprises a catheter, wherein a cuff is positioned around at least a portion of the catheter, and wherein the concavely curved internal surface is positioned around the cuff;
