A suction flask is the glass bottle used to hold the liquid sucked from the throat of an aspirating patient. It is a bottle with a rubber stopper in the top. The stopper has two holes in it. Into each of these holes is placed a glass (or plastic) tube. There is a long tube that extends to, or almost to, the bottom of the flask (Jar or bottle). The other tube is short and extends only to the bottom of the rubber stopper. The short tube is connected to a vacuum source, which creates a low pressure inside the bottle. The longer tube is connected to a device that can be put into the mouth and throat of a patient. Any liquid in the mouth and throat is sucked into the jar. Because it is heavier than air the liquid will settle in the bottom of the suction flask. Because the tube connected to the vacuum source is at the top of the suction flask liquid will not be sucked in the suction source. Usually there is a filter and device between the suction flask and the vacuum source to prevent any extraneous liquid from entering the vacuum source. Suction flasks have been replaced, nowadays, with plastic containers.

What are advantages to using suction filtration?
Suction filtration is conducted by using a water aspirator, suction flask and a Buchner funnel. The force of the water pulls the air out of the apparatus (assuming the funnel gets sealed, generally this takes place with your hand.) creating a great deal of suction.
