A pneumatic medical system, which includes a collection canister with a lid. Integrally attached to the lid are inlet and outlet ports, a thumb valve to regulate the level of suction or pressure in the system, a clip to hold a loop of catheter, an endotracheal tube adaptor, and a single hole for a single-suction catheter. The suction catheter has telescoping lengths and sizes of catheter attached so that the user can increase the diameter of catheter to be used by removing smaller diameter catheters. A smaller diameter catheter can be removed by pulling the smaller diameter catheter through the telescoping nested attachment with the larger diameter catheter. If the canister becomes full or clogged, it can be easily cleared by tipping the canister and pouring the contents through the thumb valve. The system requires only one hand and is easy to hold and manipulate. A disposable and pre-filled irrigation system is also disclosed.
