Abstract
In an intervertebral implant having at least two upper and two lower contact bodies that have contact surfaces. An actuator has a threaded body which has an extension axis and is provided with opposite-handed threads arranged one behind the other. Wedges sit on the threaded body in an axially moveable manner and can be moved along the threaded body by rotating the same. Ramps of at least one ramp body of a wedge engage at least with counter-surfaces of at least some of the contact bodies and extend toward one another at a finite angle of less than 90°. The wedges are double wedges having two ramp bodies arranged one behind the other, and the ramps of one ramp body are oriented differently to the ramps of the other ramp body. The ramps of the first ramp body engage directly with the contact bodies laterally.
