A full-sized light-up functional medical pod from Ridley Scott’s 2012 sci-fi film Prometheus.
The Pauling MedPod was a high-tech medical device located within Meredith Vickers' (Charlize Theron) FTL Lifeboat aboard the USCSS Prometheus. Dr Elizabeth Shaw programmed the MedPod to quickly extract an alien embryo from her abdomen in an impromptu caesarean, before sealing the newborn creature inside the device.
This item comprises a fully functioning medical bed with an added machined MDF exterior frame, finished in a clinical white paint. Various decals decorate the outside, including the Weyland Corp insignia, element symbols and a warning sign. A curved cover, consisting of transparent Plexiglas panels with a white wooden frame, is fitted over the bed and is designed to fold outwards for easy access. The inside of the pod features a hexagonal headrest with adhered black padding and an arch at the centre. Strips of functioning white LEDs run around the interior frame of the cover.
A variety of cables are wrapped around the base of the bed, and the MedPod is powered by five different UK mains plugs. Two of the plug cables feature adhesive strips of masking tape with "LED" written in black marker. The medical bed comes with an attached remote control and controls on the base, which allow the pod to tilt at multiple angles. Both sides of the lot feature functional console panels that display video graphics from a built-in DVD player at the rear. The screens are controlled by an external remote control (included with the item). Signs of production use are present on the MedPod, including minor scratches and scuffs on the Plexiglas, cracks in both blue sections of the main body, paint wear on the wooden parts, and stage blood spatter. Care should be taken when controlling the bed to prevent damage. Dimensions: 278 cm x 110 cm x 135 cm (109.5" x 43.25" x 53.25")
