Bind damaged parts (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strap

'bind' is the definition.
(strapping is a kind of binding)

'damaged parts' is the wordplay.
'damaged' is an anagram indicator.
'parts' is an anagram of 'STRAP'.

(Other definitions for strap that I've seen before include "Parts of a leather band" , "loopy band" , "Beat; securing band" , "Narrow strip of leather" , "Elongated leather strip" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
