Butyl 2-cyanoacrylate was placed on the oval and round window of the ear of the chinchilla and was also used as an adhesive for myringoplasty with autogenous muscle fascia. Butyl 2-cyanoacrylate was found to be difficult to manipulate and moderately toxic to the middle ear; there were occasional significant reactions in the inner ear.
