Abstract: An aid to assist in using a standard spiking device for puncturing an intravenous bag which has not been previously opened. The aid consists of a round handle in which a cavity is formed, to receive the spiking device therein. The handle is provided with a slot so that the tube which is part of the spiking device may fit into the slot, and the spiking device may now fit precisely into the handle. The handle is provided with a protective lip at one end so that the user is protected from injury during the bag puncturing operation. This device helps prevent repetitive strain injury caused by the constant opening of intravenous bags by hospital personnel.
