The ID-Flex 1: Compact Workstation, Big Impact
The ID-Flex 1: Compact Workstation, Big Impact
In hospital wards with limited spaces, size, safety, and usability aren’t nice-to-haves, they’re essential.
Why is that?
Many mobile medical workstations (on wheels) have historically been designed as if they were intended to be used in areas with unlimited space, not a busy hospital ward. They’re bulky, they get in the way, and they’re difficult to move. Nurses end up fighting the workstation instead of using it.
That’s the problem the ID-Flex 1 was built to solve.
It’s the most compact medical workstation in our lineup, but don’t let that fool you. It’s proof that sometimes, less really is more.
What makes it different?
- Small footprint, big usability: At just 460mm × 350mm, it actually fits where nurses work. Between beds, down narrow ward aisles, in spaces where a standard medical workstation just won’t cut it.
- Lightweight & maneuverable: No heavy pushing or awkward lifting. Nurses can wheel it easily, then adjust it to the right height whether sitting or standing.
- Laptop & tablet ready: With a secure retaining bar, protector plate, and lockable tablet mount, devices stay safe, even on a busy shift. Translation: fewer cracked screens, fewer IT tickets, less downtime.
- Smart cable management: Plug-and-charge design, no need to dismantle the housing every time. Cables aren’t left trailing, which means less risk of accidents and less frustration for staff.
Outcomes that matter
What does this actually mean on a busy ward?
- More space for care: A medical workstation that moves with staff instead of blocking them.
- Less damage: Stronger protection for laptops and tablets means fewer broken devices, fewer replacements, and lower IT costs.
- Happier staff: Ergonomically designed for seated or standing use, therefore reducing fatigue and frustration.
- Fewer workarounds: Nurses don’t need to abandon the medical workstation to log data, they can stay with patients and keep records accurate and up to date.
When you add it up, ID-Flex 1 is less about being “the compact workstation” and more about being the medical workstation that doesn’t get in the way.
Why not just stick with competitors?

Good question. On paper, competitors' medical workstations may look similar.
But here’s what they usually miss:
- Cable management that isn’t robust (leading to messy setups or trip hazards).
- Screens and laptops left exposed, which means costly replacements.
- Designs that look sleek but don’t hold up in a ward where space is at a premium.
The ID-Flex 1 is the opposite: compact, durable, and usable in real-world conditions, not just on a product sheet.
Final thought
If you’ve ever seen a nurse drag a bulky workstation sideways just to squeeze through a ward, or worse, watched another laptop screen crack on shift, you’ll understand why the ID-Flex 1 matters.
It’s not about being entry-level. It’s about being the medical workstation that actually works in the spaces where care happens.
