A device for aiding a nurse in the preparation and set-up of intravenous therapy. The device has a backing plate with a backing layer of adhesive for securement to an IV pole, the backing plate being made of a flexible material so that it may be wrapped about the IV pole. A frustro-conical hollow member is supported by the front surface of the backing plate in which are provided friction-gripping ribs to firmly hold and grip a needle-cap of an intravenous needle, so that, when the needle and its cap are inserted into the hollow the cap is firmly held, after which the needle proper may be removed from the cap for subsequent IV therapy. The device allows a nurse to accomplish such needle and cap separation with only one hand, to free her other hand to hold another part of the IV set-up or to perform another task.
