Abstract
A functional insert including a body which is provided with at least one flexible flange on the outer surface thereof, for creating a tight connection with the neck, and a functional element. The functional insert is characterised in that: a) it includes an adhesive which is typically carried by the flange and is selected in such a way that it adheres to the neck of the recipient, and b) the adhesive is typically a permanent adhesive selected in terms of its consistency or viscosity such that it only squeezes out under stress. In this way, any axial displacement towards the top of the functional insert is prevented by fixing the body to the neck of the recipient by means of an adhesive contact region.
