The present invention relates to a implant for stabilizing the spinous processes (12, 14) of adjacent vertebral bodies (13, 15) relative to each other, the first contact element (16) and a second contact element and the (18) comprises, in order to stabilize the spinous processes (12, 14), it is possible to place the first contact element (16) from the first side (17) on the side of the spinous process (12, 14) Also, it is possible to place the second contact element (18) from said spinous process (12, 14) second side (19) on the side which is remote from said first side (17) of, The implant (10 90) comprises at least one fastening element (28, 29) and at least one securing element (43), wherein the at least one fastening element (28, 29), said first together is movable relative to said second contact element is connected to the contact elements (16) (18), the spinous process (12, 14) the intervertebral space (30) between and the second contact element (18 ) through which extends, also the at least one securing element (43), said second contact element (18) is disposed on the second contact said element (18) first contact elements (16 can engage with the at least one fastening element (28, 29) for tightening along said at least one fastening element in the direction (28, 29) of) it relates to an implant. To provide this type of implant which can be handled more easily, according to the present invention, the first contact element (16), fastening elements wherein for at least one fastening element (28, 29) longitudinally that it is movable, and the at least one fastening element (28, 29) is, on the second contact element (18) the first contact element so as not to move in the direction of (16) directly or indirectly to at least one support member for supporting (33), is proposed.本発明は、隣接する椎体(13、15)の棘突起(12、14)を互いに対して安定させるためのインプラントであって、第1接触要素(16)及び第2接触要素(18)を含み、前記棘突起(12、14)を安定させるために、前記第1接触要素(16)を前記棘突起(12、14)の第1側面(17)上に側方から設置することができ、また、前記第2接触要素(18)を前記棘突起(12、14)の前記第1側面(17)
