A spike connector (10) of the type in which a hollowed spike (14) extending from the main body portion (12) of the spike connector is inserted into the stopper of a fluid source in order to convey the fluid from the source through the spike (14) and main body portion (12). The main body portion (12)

A spike connector (10) of the type in which a hollowed spike (14) extending from the main body portion (12) of the spike connector is inserted into the stopper of a fluid source in order to convey the fluid from the source through the spike (14) and main body portion (12). The main body portion (12) includes a pair of wings (32, 34) which extend upwardly in the direction of the spike and outwardly therefrom, with the tops of the wings serving to space the remaining top of the main body portion (12) away from the fluid source stopper to prevent collection of the solution on the top of the main body portion. The undersides (36, 38) of the wings (32, 34) form a convenient finger grip. The tip portion (30) of the spike is relatively polished to enable easy insertion of the spike into the stopper.
