Covering for a wound (8)

I believe the answer is:

dressing

(Other definitions for dressing that I've seen before include "Sauce - alignment - bandage" , "French or vinaigrette, say" , "clothing" , "Putting clothes on" , "Covering for wound; sauce for salad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Sydney Morning Herald.
