The toileting products and equipment program is for people who have a significant and ongoing impairment that affects their ability to eliminate waste products from the body.
The main goal is to help people with disabilities lead an active life by compensating for their impairments with products and equipment (incontinence pants, catheter equipment, urine and stool collection bags, etc.).

To access the program, the impairment must have a direct impact on the elimination of bodily waste. A medical certificate attesting to the impairment is required to determine eligibility for the program.

Recipients receive a subsidy to purchase recognized equipment listed in the ministerial management guide. Through a group purchase program, the CISSS de Laval provides eligible clients with high-quality, safe and affordable equipment.
