Cover wound in black and get on (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bandage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cover wound' is the definition.
'bandage' can be an answer for 'cover' (I have seen 'medical cover' mean 'bandage' so perhaps 'cover' could also mean 'bandage'). I am not certain of the 'wound' bit.

'black and get on' is the wordplay.
'black' becomes 'b' (as in pencil classifications).
'get on' becomes 'age' (synonyms).
'b'+'and'+'age'='BANDAGE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bandage that I've seen before include "Injury protection" , "Wrap for a wound" , "Material for wound or injury" , "First-aid item" , "Dressing for wounds" .)
