          This  Amendment  No. 5 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. 5 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. 5 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 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

          JS&C  expended  approximately  $1,071,021  of the  working  capital of
Quasar  Partners to purchase the Shares  reported herein as being acquired since
November 20, 1997 (the date of filing of the last statement on Schedule 13D).

          The Shares held for the account 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 679,200 Shares held for the account of Quasar
Partners (approximately 13.66% 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
679,200 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
November 20, 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.
