          This  Amendment  No. 1 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. 1 supplementally amends the initial statement
on Schedule 13D dated September 29, 1997 (the "Initial Statement"), filed by the
Reporting  Persons.  This  Amendment  No. 1 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.

Updated information concerning the Managing Directors of SFM LLC is set forth in
Annex A hereto and incorporated herein by reference.


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

          JS&C expended  approximately $727,400 of the working capital of Quasar
Partners  to  purchase  the  Shares  reported  herein  as being  acquired  since
September 29, 1997 (the date of filing of the Initial Statement).

          The Shares held for the accounts of Quasar  Partners  and/or other SFM
Clients 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 405,900 Shares held for the account of Quasar
Partners (approximately 8.74% 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
405,900 Shares.

          (c)  Except for the transactions  disclosed on Annex B 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
September  29, 1997 (the date of filing of the Initial  Statement) 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.
