What is Precision PES-Derm?
Precision PES-Derm is a wound gel for horses. It combines Benzalkonium Chloride and Natural Egg Membrane, a pairing formulated to kill 99.9% of bacteria and fungus while accelerating the regrowth of healthy tissue.
What can Precision PES-Derm be used for?
It is described as effective for cuts, scrapes, hot spots, fungal infections, and skin irritations.
How is Precision PES-Derm applied?
Apply the gel topically to the affected area, and reapply as needed until the area is healed.
Is Precision PES-Derm safe for animals other than horses?
Yes. Precision PES-Derm is described as safe for horses, dogs, and other livestock, and it is featured for both horse wound care and hot-spot treatment in dogs.
How do Benzalkonium Chloride and Natural Egg Membrane work together in the gel?
In Precision PES-Derm, the Benzalkonium Chloride targets bacteria and fungus — killing 99.9% of them — while the Natural Egg Membrane component is paired with it to accelerate regrowth of healthy tissue, so the formula is meant to both clean and support healing of the wound.
Who makes Precision PES-Derm?
It is made by Precision Equine Solutions, an Austin, Texas company also known for the Precision Joint Solution brand and the PJS All-In-One Leg Solution. The company can be reached at 1-800-821-6921, by email at

What are the active ingredients in PES-Derm?
The two key actives are Benzalkonium Chloride, a quaternary-ammonium antimicrobial that destroys bacteria and fungus, and Natural Egg Membrane, which supplies tissue growth factors. Egg-shell membrane naturally contains Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-b), collagen, and elastin — the components skin needs to rebuild healthy tissue.
How does Natural Egg Membrane help wounds heal?
Egg-shell membrane is a natural source of growth factors and structural proteins, including TGF-beta, collagen, and elastin. These signal and supply the tissue-rebuilding process, so a wound treated with the membrane gel is supported to regrow healthy tissue rather than simply forming a dry scab. This is why PES-Derm is positioned as both an antimicrobial and a tissue-regrowth product.
What does the Benzalkonium Chloride do?
Benzalkonium Chloride is the antimicrobial component. It is a quaternary-ammonium compound that provides microbiocidal action, meaning it works to completely destroy microbial cells rather than just slowing their growth. In PES-Derm it is what delivers the claim of killing 99.9% of bacteria and fungus on the treated area.
What conditions and injuries does PES-Derm treat?
PES-Derm is intended for cuts, scrapes, abrasions, hot spots, fungal infections such as ringworm, and general skin irritations. Its dual antimicrobial-plus-tissue-regrowth design makes it useful for the common skin and minor-wound problems horse and livestock owners see around the barn. For deep, puncture, or non-healing wounds, consult your veterinarian.
Is PES-Derm safe to use on dogs and other animals?
Yes. PES-Derm is formulated to be safe for horses, dogs, and other livestock, so a single product can be used across the animals on a farm. As with any topical, use it for external application only and keep it away from the eyes; consult a veterinarian for serious or non-healing wounds.
How do I apply Precision PES-Derm?
Clean and dry the affected area, then apply the gel topically in a thin, even layer directly to the wound or irritated skin. Reapply as needed until the area is healed. Treating early, at the first sign of a scrape or hot spot, and keeping a fresh layer on between cleanings tends to give the best results.
How often should PES-Derm be reapplied?
The product is designed to be reapplied as needed until the wound or irritation is healed. For an open or weeping area, refreshing the gel after cleaning the site or once it has worn off helps maintain the moist, protected environment that supports faster healing. Frequency depends on the severity and location of the wound.
Why is PES-Derm a gel instead of a spray or powder?
A homogenous gel keeps the egg-membrane proteins and antimicrobial in even, lasting contact with the wound bed instead of running off like a liquid or sitting on top like a thick ointment. The gel also holds moisture at the site, which supports faster tissue regrowth, and forms a protective layer that helps keep out dirt, flies, and contaminants between applications.
Does PES-Derm sting when applied?
PES-Derm is formulated as a gentle topical gel intended for sensitive skin and open wounds across multiple species, so it is designed to be non-irritating in use. This makes it practical for skittish horses and dogs that resist stinging sprays. As always, discontinue use and consult a veterinarian if any adverse reaction occurs.
What is the science or research behind the egg-membrane wound technology?
The egg-shell-membrane-plus-antimicrobial wound-gel approach is documented in wound-care patent literature (US/WO filings assigned to Blaine Laboratories Inc.) describing irradiated egg-shell membrane combined with benzalkonium chloride and hyaluronic acid in a neutralized carbomer gel. That work cites tissue growth factors such as TGF-beta, collagen, and elastin from the membrane, and reported improved wound granulation in clinical testing — the same mechanism Precision PES-Derm is built on.
Where can I buy Precision PES-Derm?
Precision Equine Solutions sells direct through its websites precisionjointsolution.com and precisionequinesolutions.com, and you can order or ask product questions by phone at 1-800-821-6921. Because availability of specific items can change, calling or emailing

Can I use PES-Derm on hot spots and fungal infections?
Yes. Hot spots and fungal infections such as ringworm are specifically among the conditions PES-Derm targets. The Benzalkonium Chloride addresses the fungal and bacterial component while the egg-membrane growth factors support the irritated skin in rebuilding, which is why it is marketed for both wounds and chronic skin irritations.
What other products does Precision Equine Solutions make?
Besides PES-Derm, the company makes the PJS All-In-One Leg Solution, a daily equine supplement that supports joints, tendons, ligaments, bones, and hooves using a systemic enzyme reduction phase (Arto-Velox) plus a recovery phase of Glucosamine HCl, Chondroitin, Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, and minerals. It also offers Forte Flex K9, a joint supplement for dogs, so owners can support animals from the inside and treat skin from the outside with one brand.
Is PES-Derm only for performance or competition horses?
No. While it complements the brand's performance-focused joint products, PES-Derm is a general-purpose skin and wound gel suited to any horse, dog, or livestock animal that gets cuts, scrapes, hot spots, or skin irritations. Its multi-species safety and simple apply-as-needed directions make it a practical barn and home first-aid staple, not just a competition product.
