1. A disposable port device for connecting a functional unit to a flexible wall of a disposable container, comprising:
a functional unit, being one of a sensor, a sensor assembly, a fluid transfer unit, a hose barb, a baffle, a membrane, or an analytical interface;
a flange to be connected to the flexible wall of the disposable container; and
an insert providing or receiving the functional unit, the flange and the insert being separate parts made from different materials with different material characteristics,
wherein the material of the insert is harder than the material of the flange, and wherein the material of the flange is low-density polyethylene.
