               This  Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of common
stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Shares"),  of Ortec International,  Inc.
(the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 3 supplementally amends the initial statement
on Schedule 13D dated  September 29, 1997,  filed by the  Reporting  Persons (as
defined  herein)  and  all  amendments  thereto   (collectively,   the  "Initial
Statement"). This Amendment No. 3 is being filed to report that as a result of a
recent  acquisition  of Shares of the Issuer,  the number of Shares of which the
Reporting Persons may be deemed the beneficial owners has increased by more than
one  percent of the total  outstanding  Shares.  Capitalized  terms used but not
defined  herein  shall  have  the  meanings  ascribed  to  them  in the  Initial
Statement. The Initial Statement is supplementally amended as follows.


Item 2.        Identity and Background.

               This  Statement  is being  filed by SFM LLC,  Mr.  Soros  and Mr.
Druckenmiller (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). This Statement relates to
Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners.


Item 3.        Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

               JS&C expended approximately  $1,006,478 of the working capital of
Quasar  Partners to purchase the Shares  reported herein as being acquired since
October 28, 1997 (the date of filing of the last statement on Schedule 13D).

               The Shares held for the  accounts of Quasar  Partners may be held
through margin accounts  maintained with brokers,  which extend margin credit as
and when required to open or carry positions in their margin  accounts,  subject
to applicable federal margin  regulations,  stock exchange rules and such firms'
credit policies. The Shares which may be held in the margin accounts are pledged
as  collateral  security for the repayment of debit  balances in the  respective
accounts.

Item 5.        Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

               (a)  As a  consequence  SFM LLC's  ability to terminate  the JS&C
Contract with respect to all investments,  including those involving the Shares,
and  acquire  voting  and  dispositive  power  over the  Shares  within 60 days,
notwithstanding  the fact that none of SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr.  Druckenmiller
currently exercises such power, SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr.  Druckenmiller may be
deemed the beneficial owner of the 534,900 Shares held for the account of Quasar
Partners (approximately 10.76% of the total number of Shares outstanding).

               (b)  The power to direct the voting and disposition of the Shares
held for the account of Quasar Partners is currently  vested in JS&C pursuant to
the JS&C  Contract.  SFM LLC has the  contractual  authority on behalf of Quasar
Partners to terminate  the JS&C  Contract  within 60 days and, as a result,  SFM
LLC,  Mr.  Soros and Mr.  Druckenmiller  may be deemed  to have the  ability  to
acquire  the  voting  and  dispositive  power  held by JS&C with  respect to the
534,900 Shares.

               (c)  Except for the transactions disclosed on Annex A hereto, all
of which were  effected  in the  over-the-counter  market in  routine  brokerage
transactions,  there have been no transactions  with respect to the Shares since
October 28, 1997 (the date of filing of the last  statement on Schedule  13D) by
any of the Reporting Persons or Quasar Partners.

               (d)  The   partners   of  Quasar   Partners,   including   Quasar
International Fund N.V., a Netherlands Antilles  corporation,  have the right to
participate in the receipt of dividends  from, or proceeds from the sale of, the
Shares,  held for the  account  of Quasar  Partners  in  accordance  with  their
partnership interests in Quasar Partners.

               (e)  Not applicable.
