               This  Amendment No. 7 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. 7 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. 7 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  $987,249 of the working  capital of
Quasar  Partners to purchase the Shares  reported herein as being acquired since
January 6, 1998 (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 817,800 Shares held for the account of Quasar
Partners (approximately 14.20% 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
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 817,800 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  January  6, 1998 (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.
