A method of securing a surgical clip to a clip applier may include engaging a first applier tip with a first jaw member, and engaging a second applier tip with a second jaw member. Tire jaw members may be secured within sleeve portions of the applier tips. The surgical clip may then be received between the first and second jaw members and secured with the first and second applier tips. The surgical clip may be secured to the clip applier by receiving a proximal portion of the surgical clip between a first protrusion of the first applier tip and a second protrusion of the second applier tip, receiving a first boss member on a first leg member of the surgical clip in a recess of the first applier tip, and receiving a second boss member on a second leg member of the surgical clip in a recess of the second applier tip.
