Abstract: A safety connector, for connecting a fluid source to an intravenous hub, comprising a main tube having an inner wall having an inside diameter which matches the fluid source and intravenous hub. The main tube has a first end and a second end. A needle extends through the main tube, the needle having a receptacle end and a pointed end. The receptacle end is located at the first end of the main tube to create a fluid connection therewith. The receptacle end is flared toward the second end. The pointed end is slightly recessed from the second end to prevent needle prick injuries when the connector is being handled.
