The surgical suction device preferably has the exit suction port below the handle to create a more ergonomic device and reduce user fatigue during surgery.

Abstract: A surgical suction instrument that includes a handle, a surgical cavity insertion tube, and a suction tube attachment fitting. The suction tube attachment fitting is in connection with the surgical cavity insertion tube at a location below a mechanical connection of the surgical cavity insertion tube and the handle. In one embodiment, the surgical cavity insertion tube terminates at a lower suction tube tip end in multiple suction intake openings formed through the bottom and bottom side surfaces of the lower suction tube tip end and each in fluid communication with a tube passageway thereof. In another, the surgical suction instrument further includes a surgical cavity insertion tube adjustment mechanism in connection between the handle and the surgical cavity insertion tube to allow the user to adjust the position of the surgical cavity insertion tube with respect to the handle as desired.
