A lighted suction device comprises a light pipe member extending from a proximal end to a tip so as to allow light to travel down the light pipe member from the proximal end to the tip, and a suction channel integral to the light pipe member or a suction catheter member that is affixed to the light pipe member having an opening at the tip of the light pipe member and a connector at its proximal end for connection to a source of vacuum. The tip of the light pipe member is introduced into a body orifice, suction is applied wax, debris, a foreign object, or the like in the body orifice, and the light pipe member is withdrawn to remove the wax, debris, and/or foreign object.
