Suction device for medical use in removing material from a surgical site or similar

A device for evacuating a surgical site of a patient for removing a breast implant, the device comprising:

• a container defining:
• a longitudinal axis extending through a length of the container;
• a first end having a surgical site engaging surface;
• and
• a second end having a pressure source engaging surface, wherein the second end is spaced apart from the first end along the longitudinal axis, wherein a gripping surface is formed between the first end and the second end;
• wherein the first end defines a tapered cross-section configured for being engageably received within an opening at the surgical site to remove the breast implant,
• wherein, in operation, vacuum pressure is applied to the second end in order to create a vacuum within the container to evacuate fluids from the breast implant from the surgical site, and
• wherein the first end defines a graduated series of ridges, each extending circumferentially at a respective position along the tapered cross section to indicate depth of insertion of the first end into the opening at the surgical site, to provide sealing engagement with the surgical site when inserted into the opening, and to permit removal from the opening without injury.
