          This  Amendment  No. 14 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.  14  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. 14 is being filed to report that, as of
July 1, 2000, Mr.  Druckenmiller ceased to be the Lead Portfolio Manager of, and
is no longer employed by, SFM LLC. 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,  Lupa,  Mr.  Soros and Mr.
Druckenmiller (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). This statement relates to
Shares held for the accounts of Quasar Partners and Lupa.

          On July 1, 2000,  Mr.  Druckenmiller  ceased to be the Lead  Portfolio
Manager of, and is no longer employed by, SFM LLC. Mr.  Druckenmiller  no longer
may be deemed to have  investment  discretion  over the securities  held for the
account of Quasar  Partners.  As a result,  Mr.  Druckenmiller  no longer may be
deemed  the  beneficial  owner of  securities  held for the  account  of  Quasar
Partners, and, as of July 1, 2000, is no longer a Reporting Person.

          Effective as of July 1, 2000, as a result of a  reorganization  of SFM
LLC, the  Management  Committee has been  eliminated and there are no longer any
Managing  Directors.  The  business of SFM LLC is managed by Mr.  Soros,  in his
capacity as Chairman and President.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

               (a)  (i)  SFM LLC  may be  deemed  the  beneficial  owner  of the
782,500 Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners  (approximately  9.26% of
the total number of Shares outstanding).

                    (ii) Mr.  Soros  may  be  deemed  the  beneficial  owner  of
1,249,900   Shares   (approximately   14.79%  of  the  total  number  of  Shares
outstanding). This number consists of (A) 782,500 Shares held for the account of
Quasar Partners and (B) 467,400 Shares held for the account of Lupa.

                    (iii)Lupa may be deemed the beneficial  owner of the 467,400
Shares  held for its own  account  (approximately  5.53% of the total  number of
Shares outstanding).

               (b)  (i) Each of SFM LLC and Mr.  Soros may be deemed to have the
sole power to direct the voting and  disposition  of the 782,500 Shares held for
the account of Quasar Partners.

                    (ii) Mr.  Soros,  by  virtue  of his  position  as a general
partner  of Lupa,  may be deemed to have the sole power to direct the voting and
disposition  of the 467,400 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.

                    (iii)  Lupa may be deemed  to have the sole  power to direct
the voting and disposition of the 467,400 Shares held for its own account.

               (c)  There have been no  transactions  with respect to the Shares
since May 6, 2000 (60 days  prior to the date  hereof)  by any of the  Reporting
Persons or Quasar Partners.

               (d)  (i) Pursuant to a  combination  of Quasar Fund with and into
Quantum Industrial Holdings Ltd. ("QIH"),  effective February 1, 1999, portfolio
investments previously held indirectly by Quasar Fund (including the Shares held
for the account of Quasar Partners) were transferred to, and are held indirectly
by, QIH. SFM LLC serves as principal  investment manager to both Quasar Partners
and  QIH,  and  remains  the  principal  investment  manager  of such  portfolio
investments.  The  partners of Quasar  Partners,  including  Quantum  Industrial
Partners  LDC, a Cayman  Islands  limited  duration  company,  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, the Shares held by
Lupa in accordance with their partnership interests in Lupa.

               (e) As of  July  1,  2000,  Mr.  Druckenmiller  ceased  to be the
beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Shares.

               SFM LLC expressly  disclaims  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.  Lupa  expressly  disclaims  ownership  of any Shares not held for its
account.
