Fabric used in dressing (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lint

This clue is a double definition.

'fabric' is the first definition.
(I know that lint is a type of fabric)

'dressing' is the second definition.
(material used for dressing wounds)

'used in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lint that I've seen before include "Fabric for dressing wounds" , "Fabric for dressings" , "Wound-dressing fabric" , "Soft cloth for dressing wounds" , "Napped cloth used to dress wounds" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
