Scraps applications for medical treatment (7)

I believe the answer is:

patches

This clue is a double definition.

'scraps' is the first definition.
(scraps of material)

'applications for medical treatment' is the second definition.
(eg nicotine patches)

(Another definition for patches that I've seen is " Beds".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
