A surgical suction device includes a vacuum source, hose member, vacuum adaptor, and suction attachment. The suction attachment includes each of a bottom layer, middle layer, and a top layer. The bottom layer and the top layer are made of an absorptive material. The middle layer includes a system of microtubules that are in fluid communication with the vacuum source via several apertures located on its top surface. When the device is in use, the bottom layer is in contact with the soft tissue that is being operated on. When the vacuum source is turned on, suction is provided through the vacuum apertures on top of the middle layer via the microtubules. The suction persists through the top layer, and any fluid in the surgical site above the top layer is sucked through the top layer into the vacuum apertures, through the microtubules, and out of the suction attachment.
