A pouch for organizing and suspending cables off of a hospital floor. The pouch comprises three distinct, integrally connected sections that cooperate in an envelope-like formation to enclose a plurality of cables. Two pockets integrally connect to the front side. Upon relocating a patient, the cables are unplugged and stored within the pouch, with the plugs contained within the pockets to prevent damage to the cables and plugs, and to avoid dragging the plugs along the floor. A pair of ties engages the back side of the pouch, each employing mating strips having complimentary hook and loop fasteners, to secure the pouch onto patient carriers at a significant height above a hospital floor. An assembly of interlocking bands and straps, each having complimentary hook and loop fasteners, cooperate to secure a plurality of cables in place within the pouch. The pouch can be opened while secured onto a patient carrier to access cables therein, and the ties can be quickly disengaged to transfer and relocate the pouch when necessary to do so.
