Claim 0:
1. A medical device for fluidly connecting to a medical spike, the device comprising:
a spike port having a proximal port inlet configured to receive therethrough the medical spike and establish fluid communication between the medical spike and the medical device, said spike port comprising a port longitudinal axis; and
a spike-locking mechanism configured to resist extraction of the medical spike from the spike port, said spike-locking mechanism comprising a spike-locking element having an outer rigid portion and a movable portion extending inwardly from the outer rigid portion towards the port longitudinal axis and away from the proximal port inlet, said movable portion of the spike-locking element comprising:
at least one first inwardly projecting element inclined with respective at least one first element angle defined with respect to a proximal portion of the port longitudinal axis and having respective at least one first element distal portion that contacts an outer surface of the medical spike when located in the spike port; and
at least one second projecting element inclined with respective at least one second element angle defined with respect to the proximal portion of the port longitudinal axis, said at least one second element angle being greater than said at least one first element angle, said at least one second projecting element having respective at least one second element distal edge configured to contact the outer surface of the medical spike.
