A suction device comprising: (a) a suction tube having a first longitudinal axis, a proximal opening, a distal opening, and an entry port disposed proximate to the distal opening; (b) a guide structure having a second longitudinal axis that is substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis, a proximal opening, and a distal opening; (c) a hooked stylet having a proximal end and a hooked distal end; wherein: • the stylet is disposed substantially along the second longitudinal axis and encircled by the guide structure such that the hooked distal end is disposed in or proximate to the entry port, and • as the hooked stylet is urged in the distal direction of the suction tube substantially along the second longitudinal axis and through the guide structure, the curvature of the hooked distal end meeting resistance from the distal edge of the entry port translates the hooked stylet into the suction tube and to the distal opening of the suction tube; (d) a tubular base member having a proximal vacuum connector, an intermediate region, a distal attachment region, and a vent disposed on the intermediate region in fluid communication with the proximal vacuum connector that are each in fluid communication with one another, wherein the distal attachment region is in contact with the proximal opening of the suction tube such that the proximal vacuum connector is in fluid communication with the suction tube, and wherein the tubular base member further comprises a vent-surrounding member disposed on the intermediate region and around the vent; (e) a receiving member disposed at the distal attachment region, wherein the receiving member encircles the stylet and is coaxial with the guide structure along the second longitudinal axis; and (f) a handle member that is operably attached to and surrounds the intermediate region and distal attachment region which includes a track element extending substantially parallel to the second longitudinal axis that is proximate to the distal attachment region, and a vent-access opening such that the vent and vent-surrounding member are accessible through the vent-access opening.
