          This  Amendment  No. 3 to  Schedule  13D  relates  to shares of Common
Stock, no par value (the "Shares"),  of UroMed Corporation (the "Issuer").  This
Amendment  No. 3  supplementally  amends the initial  statement  on Schedule 13D
dated April 15, 1994 and all  amendments  thereto  (collectively,  the  "Initial
Statement")  filed by one of the  Reporting  Persons (as defined  herein).  This
Amendment  No. 3 is being filed to report a change in the  relationship  between
Mr. Steven Gilbert ("Mr.  Gilbert") and Soros Capital (as defined herein),  as a
result of which Mr.  Gilbert  shall no longer be  considered  to be a  Reporting
Person.  Capitalized  terms used  herein but not defined  herein  shall have the
meanings  given to them in the  Initial  Statement.  The  Initial  Statement  is
supplementally amended as follows.

Item 2.   Identity and Background.

          This  statement  is being  filed on behalf of Soros  Capital  L.P.,  a
Bermuda  limited  partnership  ("Soros  Capital"),  Soros Fund Management LLC, a
Delaware limited liability  company ("SFM LLC"), Mr. George Soros ("Mr.  Soros")
and Mr. Stanley F. Druckenmiller  ("Mr.  Druckenmiller,  and together with Soros
Capital, SFM LLC and Mr. Soros, the "Reporting Persons"). This Statement relates
to Shares held for the account of Soros Capital.

          Soros Capital is a Bermuda limited partnership  principally engaged in
direct and  indirect  investments  in buy-out  transactions  and  restructuring,

Quantum  Industrial  Partners LDC, a Cayman  Islands  limited  duration  company
("QIP"),  is the sole  limited  partner of Soros  Capital.  Notwithstanding  Mr.
Gilbert's position as the managing general partner of Soros Capital, Mr. Gilbert
has agreed with SFM LLC that Soros Capital will follow the  instructions  of SFM
LLC with respect to investment  decisions involving the Shares. As a result, Mr.
Gilbert  may no longer be  considered  to have  investment  discretion  over the
Shares  held for the  account  of Soros  Capital,  and as such no longer  may be
deemed a beneficial owner of such Shares.

          Soros Capital (Bermuda) Ltd. is a Bermuda exempted company, whose sole
purpose is to act as resident  general  partner of Soros Capital.  The principal
office of Capital  (Bermuda) Ltd. is at Richmond House,  12  Par-La-Ville  Road,
Hamilton HM DX, Bermuda.

          SFM LLC has its principal  office at 888 Seventh  Avenue,  33rd Floor,
New  York,  New  York  10106.  The  business  of SFM LLC is  managed  through  a
Management  Committee (the "Management  Committee")  comprised of Mr. Soros, Mr.
Druckenmiller  and Mr.  Gary  Gladstein.  Its  principal  business  is to serve,
pursuant to contract,  as the principal  investment  manager to several  foreign
investment companies (the "SFM Clients"). Mr. Soros, as Chairman of SFM LLC, has
the  ability to direct the  investment  decisions  of SFM LLC and as such may be
deemed to have  investment  discretion over the securities held for the accounts
of the SFM Clients. Mr. Druckenmiller, as Lead Portfolio Manager of SFM LLC, has
the  ability to direct the  investment  decisions  of SFM LLC and as such may be
deemed to have  investment  discretion over the securities held for the accounts
of the SFM Clients. Set forth in Annex A hereto and incorporated by reference in
response to this Item 2 and  elsewhere in this  Schedule 13D as  applicable is a
list of the Managing Directors of SFM LLC.

          The principal occupation of Mr. Soros, a United States citizen, is his
direction of the  activities of SFM LLC, which is carried out in his capacity as
Chairman of SFM LLC at SFM LLC's principal office.

          The  principal  occupation  of  Mr.  Druckenmiller,  a  United  States

          Pursuant to  regulations  promulgated  under Section 13(d) of the Act,
SFM  LLC,  Mr.  Soros,  in  his  capacity  as  Chairman  of  SFM  LLC,  and  Mr.
Druckenmiller, in his capacity as Lead Portfolio Manager of SFM LLC, each may be
deemed a beneficial owner of the Shares held for the account of Soros Capital as
a result of the  ability of SFM LLC to direct the  voting and  disposition  with
respect to such Shares.

          During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons, and, to the
best of the  Reporting  Persons'  knowledge,  any  other  person  identified  in
response to this Item 2 has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding,  or (b)
a party to any civil  proceeding  as a result of which he has been  subject to a
judgment,  decree or final order enjoining future  violations of, or prohibiting
or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          (a)       Each of the Reporting  Persons may be deemed the  beneficial
owner  of  the   1,382,254   Shares  held  for  the  account  of  Soros  Capital
(approximately 5.18% of the total number of Shares outstanding).

          (b)  (i)  Pursuant to the  agreement  between Mr. Gilbert and SFM LLC,

the 1,382,254 Shares held for the account of Soros Capital.

               (ii) Pursuant to the agreement  between Mr.  Gilbert and SFM LLC
and as a result of the positions  held by Mr. Soros and Mr.  Druckenmiller  with
SFM LLC,  each of Mr. Soros and Mr.  Druckenmiller  may be deemed to have shared
power to direct the voting and disposition of the 1,382,254  Shares held for the
account of Soros Capital.

          (c)       Except  for the sale of  50,000  Shares at a price of $6.874
per Share on  November  6,  1997,  which  was  executed  in a routine  brokerage
transaction  on the  over-the-counter  market,  there have been no  transactions
effected with respect to the Shares since October 20, 1997 (60 days prior to the
date hereof) for the accounts of either of the Reporting Persons.

          (d)       The partners of Soros Capital have the right to  participate
in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of,  securities held
by  Soros  Capital  (including  the  Shares)  in  accordance  with  their  share
partnership interests in Soros Capital.

          (e)       Not applicable.
