Sigmodal (Rectidon) is a barbiturate derivative. It has sedative, hypnotic and anticonvulsant properties, and was used in surgical anaesthesia in the 1950s, [Meder F. Our experiences with rectidon basal anesthesia. "Zentralblatt fur Gynakologie". (German) 1952;74(48):1895-6.] [Frommolt G. On rectidon basis narcosis. "Die Medizinische". (German) 1952 Nov 22;20(47):1503-4.] although it was never widely used compared to better known barbiturates such as thiopental, and has now been replaced by newer drugs with a better safety profile.
