                    This  Amendment  No. 9 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. 9  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. 9 is being filed to report that as a
result of a recent  acquisition of Shares of the Issuer, the number of Shares of
which certain of 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   $1,278,707  of  the  working
capital of Lupa to purchase the Shares  reported  herein as being acquired since
March 19, 1998 (the date of filing of the last statement on Schedule 13D).

Item 5.             Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                    (a)  (i) As a consequence  of SFM LLC's ability to terminate
the JS&C Contract with respect to all investments, including those involving the
Shares  held  for the  account  of  Quasar  Partners,  and  acquire  voting  and
dispositive power over the Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners 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 823,800 Shares held for
the account of Quasar Partners.  In total, each of SFM LLC and Mr. Druckenmiller
may be deemed the beneficial owner of the 823,800 Shares held for the account of
Quasar   Partners   (approximately   14.29%  of  the  total   number  of  Shares
outstanding).

                         (ii) The aggregate  number of Shares of which Mr. Soros
may be deemed the beneficial owner is 999,600 (approximately 17.33% of the total
number of Shares  outstanding).  This number consists of (A) 823,800 Shares held
for the account of Quasar  Partners and (B) 175,800  Shares held for the account
of Lupa.

                    23,700  Shares are held for the  account  of Quasar  Rabbico
N.V., a Netherlands  Antilles  corporation  ("Quasar Rabbico") which is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Quasar Partners.  Investment  discretion granted to SFM LLC,
pursuant  to  contracts  with the SFM  Clients,  does not  extend  to  portfolio
investments of Quasar Rabbico,  including the investment in the Shares.  Each of
SFM  LLC,  Mr.  Soros  and  Mr.  Druckenmiller  expressly  disclaims  beneficial
ownership of any such Shares.

                    (b)  (i) 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
voting and dispositive power held by JS&C, notwithstanding the fact that none of
SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr.  Druckenmiller  currently  exercises such power, with
respect to the 823,800 Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners.

                         (ii) The power to direct the voting and  disposition of
the Shares held for the account of Lupa is currently  vested in JS&C pursuant to
the Lupa Contract.  Mr. Soros, by virtue of his position as a general partner of
Lupa,  has the  contractual  authority on behalf of Lupa to  terminate  the Lupa
Contract  within 60 days and, as a result,  Mr.  Soros may be deemed to have the

voting and  dispositive  power held by JS&C,  notwithstanding  the fact that Mr.
Soros currently does not exercise such power, with respect to the 175,800 Shares
held for the account of Lupa. Mr. Paul Soros, the other general partner of Lupa,
does not normally  exercise  voting and  dispositive  power over the investments
held for the account of Lupa.

                    (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  March 19,  1998 (the  date of  filing  of the last  statement  on
Schedule 13D) by any of the Reporting Persons, Quasar Partners or Lupa.

                    (d)  (i) 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.

                         (ii) The partners of Lupa have the right to participate
in the receipt of  dividends  from,  or proceeds  from the sale of,  securities,
including the Shares,  held by Lupa in accordance with their ownership interests
in Lupa.

                    (e) Not applicable.

                    SFM LLC and Mr. Druckenmiller  expressly disclaim beneficial
ownership of any Shares not held for the accounts of the SFM Clients.  Mr. Soros
expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any Shares not held for the accounts
of the SFM Clients and Lupa.
