Was out to get the bandage (6)
I believe the answer is:
swathe
'bandage' is the definition.
(I know that swathe is a type of bandage)
'was out to get the' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'to get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'was' anagrammed gives 'swa'.
'swa'+'the'='SWATHE'
(Other definitions for swathe that I've seen before include "Broad strip or area of something" , "Wrap; a cut strip" , "Wrap in bandages - broad mown band" , "Wrap in layers of, say, bandages" , "Wrap in layers of warm garments or bandages" .)
