Looking for Information on the IGGIE Clip

The topic at hand is about the IGGIE Clip, a handy little tool for those with ostomy bags. This clip is designed to make life a bit easier by preventing accidental openings and allowing you to adjust the length of your ostomy bag. Here's some useful information and tips about the IGGIE Clip:

1. What the IGGIE Clip is and what it does:
- It's a small, do-it-yourself device created by an ostomate known as "IGGIE."
- The clip is used to secure the tail of a drainable pouch, preventing accidental openings.
- It also allows you to fold the tail upward, so you can shorten the bag to your preferred length.

2. How to find more information or purchase one:
- You can search for the creator's profile, "IGGIE," on ostomy forums or through OstoAI.
- Finished clips or DIY instructions might be available on Amazon. You might also find older printed instructions in your personal ostomy paperwork or files.

3. DIY construction and improvements:
- You can make one using a small binder clip.
- Attach a small magnet to the clip arms; this magnetic hold helps keep the clip from opening accidentally. Users have found that similar magnetic clips work well for securing drains or pouches.
- For extra security, you can staple the folded pouch tail after clipping.

4. An alternative low-cost solution:
- You can use a regular binder clip without any modifications. Some ostomy nurses recommend this method, and many users find it effective, with no accidental openings.
