A new suction device for microneurosurgery is presented. A surgical cottonoid is covered with a polyethylene film so that vacuum power is maintained throughout the length of the cottonoid. One end is connected to a vacuum pump via a plastic tube. Five to 10 mm of the surgical cottonoid are exposed for suctioning at the other end of the cottonoid. The suction surgical cottonoid is flexible and safe, avoiding tissue damage. In addition, the surgeon can manipulate the exposed cottonoid at the tip as any other surgical cottonoid.
