SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 7

Different adhesive on the dressings, can any difference be identified during dressing removal. Pain level before dressing removal and pain level during dressing removal. Only measured on the last visit, with this point, the patient has not so much pain from the hip/knee joint replacement, which can have an effect on the result of dressing removal pain VAS scale (0-100 mm) 0= No pain, 100= Moste intense pain imainable.
