A tool for loosening a needleless connector is provided. The tool is a holder for holding a catheter port connected to the needleless connector. The holder includes a front surface, a rear surface, a top surface, and a cavity. The cavity accommodates the catheter port. The cavity extends through the holder and has a front opening in the front surface, a rear opening in the rear surface, and a rear inner wall. The cavity is defined by at least a first cross-sectional dimension and a second cross-sectional dimension, the first cross-sectional dimension at least partially defining a front section opening to the front opening, the second cross-sectional dimension at least partially defining a rear section opening to the rear opening.
