Big bandages? (9)

I believe the answer is:

strapping

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'big' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bandages?' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for strapping that I've seen before include "Tying up" , "Brawny" , "Big" , "Robust" , "Burly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
