The presently disclosed debris collection system (100) includes an elongate body (110) having a first end (114), a second end (112), and a bore (116) extending therethrough. The first end (114) of the elongate body (110) is hermetically closed while the second end (112) has an opening (113). The elongated body (110) is made of an impermeable material. A cap (120) fixed to the elongated body and has a bore (127) extending therethrough. A port (130), which is attached to the cap, is designed for introducing fluid into the elongated body. A watertight seal (118), such as a gasket, is attached to the cap. The seal is also made of an impermeable material. In operation, a liquid is introduced into the debris collection system. A surgical tool must then be introduced into the system. Thereafter, a vortex is created within the system to debride debris from the surgical tool.
