What do we call the spike in the cap of an ointment/cream tube?

I'm translating a text about an antifungal cream sold in aluminum tubes. The plastic cap of each tube has a spike in it used to break the foil/seal in the neck of the tube.

I'm not sure what these spikes are usually called. I googled but failed to find a description. It is spike or some other term?
