Abstract: A per-operational autotransfusion suction device has a suction cannular 1 with a tabular section nozzle 5, communicating with an inner passage 6, 9 in the cannula, the cannula passage being connected to a blood collecting recipient 41 in which a partial vacuum can be created by a vacuum source, the cannula passage communicating with an anticoagulant supply circuit having an anticoagulant feed control valve 15. The device has an independent vacuum circuit for sucking in only air and is connected to the vacuum source 40, to the blood collection recipient and to the valve. The valve has a vacuum chamber connected to a vacuum circuit 13, the vacuum chamber 49 having a deformable wall connected to a stopper which can close the anticoagulant feed circuit, the stopper being biased towards a closed position by a spring and capable of being biased towards an open position by deformation of the deformable wall when the pressure in the vacuum chamber is sufficiently low.
