A surgical suction system. The surgical suction system includes a large bore Yankauer suction device having a distal tip with a first diameter, and a proximal end with exterior hose barbs and a second diameter. The second diameter is greater than the first diameter such that a channel extending through the large bore Yankauer suction device may have an increasing diameter from the distal tip to the proximal end. The surgical system also includes cannulated tubing having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end configured to mate with the exterior hose barbs of the Yankauer suction device. The surgical system further includes an adapter having a distal end with exterior hose barbs and a proximal end. The exterior hose barbs configured to mate with the proximal end of the cannulated tubing. The proximal end of the adapter is configured to connect to a port to a canister, wall vacuum, or other biological material collection device.
