A medical suction system is provided for draining fluid from a patient area. The system includes a fluid collection receptacle (12) having a suction port (34) connected to a vacuum source and a fluid receiving port (30) for receiving fluid from the patient area. A hydroscopic filter (10) is mounted between the fluid collection receptacle (12) and the vacuum source for absorbing and collecting fluid entrained in the air while continuously permitting the passage of air from the interior of the fluid collection receptacle (12) through the suction port (34) to the vacuum source.
