Using cobwebs was actually common back before modern medicine (if Wikipedia is anything to go by)

A dressing is what goes onto the injury itself. A bandage keeps it in place. When you unwrap a bandaid/plaster; the sticky part is the bandage, the pad is the dressing.

The silk of many spiders has properties that help to stop bleeding and promote wound healing. Some species may* even have antimicrobial properties, helping to prevent infections. Because of that, they were used through history as a dressing.

may* = silk antiseptics are a current subject of medical debate and I have not yet reviewed enough of the literature to explain where the science points

It's WAAAAY too valuable to use as a whole bandage. If you wrapped it, you'd be wasting more than half of it on undamaged skin! You just ball up the web and stick it in the wound.

From there you'd make a bandage to hold it there. Good bandages include cloth, bindweed, ivy, so on.
