ABSTRACT A connector spike for use with a dual-purpose one-piece plastic closure for surgical irrigation fluid containers is disclosed. The closure has a port sleeve which has a primary sealing zone at a level slightly below the closure's top wall, and a secondary sealing zone between the primary zone and the dome-shaped bottom wall of the port sleeve. The connector has a handle portion and a spike portion with the tubular wall of the spike portion terminating in a beveled cutting edge which is adapted to pierce the bottom wall of the closure. The cutting edge slopes upwardly from a tip portion towards a heel portion, the latter being provided with an upwardly extending smoothly contoured recess which interrupts the cutting edge. The wall of the spike portion has upper and lower portions of different diameter for engaging the primary and secondary sealing zones of the closure respectively. The recess contributes in preventing air entering an inverted solution bottle from becoming entrained in liquid being drained from that bottle.
