Swathe (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

envelop

bandage

(Other definitions for bandage that I've seen before include "Wound binding" , "Bind (a wound)" , "Material for wound or injury" , "medical cover" , "Wrapping for wound" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Sunday Times.
