A surgical suction device is disclosed that includes a suction tube having a first longitudinal axis, a proximal opening, and a distal opening a guide tube that is substantially coextensive with and parallel to the suction tube, and has a second longitudinal axis, a proximal opening, and a distal opening a stylet having a proximal end and a distal end and a junction point having a proximal opening and a distal opening wherein the stylet is disposed along the second longitudinal axis and encircled by the guide tube, and urging the stylet through the guide tube along the second longitudinal axis through the junction conduit translates the distal end of the stylet to the distal opening of the junction point. The guide tube may effectively cut the length of the handle member in half.
