3M Tegaderm 3589 is a sterile, transparent film dressing sized 90mm x 150mm designed for secure, breathable protection of IV sites, minor wounds and post-operative incisions. The thin polyurethane film and hypoallergenic adhesive create a waterproof, bacteria-resistant barrier while allowing oxygen and moisture vapor transmission to support wound monitoring and skin health.

Key Benefits

• Clear, transparent protection for easy wound and IV-site observation without removal
• Waterproof and bacteria-resistant barrier to help reduce contamination risk
• Breathable polyurethane film allows moisture vapor exchange to support healing
• Hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive for gentle yet secure attachment—suitable for sensitive skin
• Sterile, single-use dressing ideal for clinical, surgical and first aid applications

Ingredients and Materials

This 3M Tegaderm transparent dressing is constructed from a thin, transparent polyurethane film backing and a pressure-sensitive hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive. The product is sterile and latex-free. Materials are chosen to provide a breathable, waterproof barrier that is permeable to oxygen and moisture vapor but impermeable to liquids and bacteria.

How to Use

1. Clean and dry the skin around the wound or IV site. Follow local infection-control protocols.
2. Remove the dressing from its sterile packaging. Peel off the protective liner.
3. Center the dressing over the wound or IV site and apply from one edge to the other, smoothing to remove creases and ensure full adhesion.
4. Monitor the site through the transparent film; change the dressing if it becomes loose, soiled, saturated, or per clinical guidance.
5. Discard after single use—do not re-sterilize or re-use.

Who It’s For

3M Tegaderm 3589 is suitable for healthcare professionals, home caregivers and patients needing a low-profile, transparent dressing for IV sites, minor wounds, catheter sites, post-operative incision protection and routine first aid. Ideal for adults and children where a clear, waterproof barrier is required.
