• a first set of connecting arms extending from the body and configured to connect the body and an irrigation tube to the surgical instrument;
• and
• an irrigation tube locking portion having a plurality of engaging projections positioned relative to the body and the irrigation tube to inhibit movement of the irrigation tube relative to the body and the surgical instrument.

An irrigation system for a surgical instrument, comprising:

• an irrigation tip configured to deliver an irrigation fluid to a surgical site;
• an irrigation tube configured to be coupled to the irrigation tip to deliver the irrigation fluid from an irrigation source to the irrigation tip;
• and
• a securing clip configured to secure the irrigation tip and the irrigation tube to the surgical instrument, the securing clip having a body extending from a proximal end to a distal end and defining a passage extending along the body from the proximal end to the distal end to receive at least a portion of the irrigation tip and the irrigation tube, the irrigation tip extending from the distal end of the body and the irrigation tube extending into the proximal end of the body and coupled to the irrigation tube within the passage of the body;
• wherein the securing clip is configured to retain the irrigation tip and the irrigation tube relative to the surgical instrument upon connecting the securing clip to the surgical instrument.
