'wound treatment' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'bury heartlessly accepts doctor finally after criticism' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'doctor' could be 'gp' (general practitioner) and 'gp' is located in the answer.
'finally' could be 'last' ('last' can be a synonym of 'finally') and 'last' is present in the answer.
'criticism' could be 'stick' (I've seen this before) and 'stick' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.
