An intravenous fluid bag spike is a small, sterile connector used to link an IV or blood bag to the administration set that delivers fluids to a patient. It features a hollow plastic spike that pierces the bag port and a connector that attaches to the IV line, often feeding into a drip chamber, and may include an extra Y‑site port for additional medication delivery.
These spikes are supplied as single‑use devices and do not contain a built‑in drip chamber. They are regulated as sterile medical accessories that must meet applicable safety and performance standards for single‑use connectors.
