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. The first end of the main tube attaches over a fluid source to create a fluid connection therewith, and the second end attaches over the intravenous hub so that the pointed end of the needle punctures said intravenous hub and thereby completes a fluid connection between the fluid source and the intravenous hub, while the hub becomes wedged upon the receptacle end of the needle, thereby creating a strong physical connection between the hub and connector.
