The invention relates to an operating instrument for minimally invasive or conventional implanting of a spinal implant into the intervertebral space comprising an outer tube which has a hollow handle on its proximal end, wherein the inner rod can be moved in the outer tube and the hollow handle, and the inner rod is provided with a threaded region which extends beyond the distal end of the outer tube, wherein the threaded region serves for fastening to the rear region of an implant and for tensioning the implant with its rear region against the distal end region of the outer tube, wherein the distal end region of the outer tube is at least partially adapted to the rear region of the implant, wherein the tensioning of the implant against the outer tube takes place by means of a tensioning device having a lever.
Operating instrument for implanting of a spinal implant into the intervertebral space, comprising an outer tube having proximal and distal ends, which has a hollow handle on its proximal end, wherein an inner rod can be moved in the outer tube and the hollow handle, and the inner rod is provided with a threaded region which extends beyond the distal end of the outer tube, wherein the threaded region serves for fastening to a rear region of an implant and for tensioning the implant with its rear region against the distal end of the outer tube, wherein the distal end of the outer tube is at least partially adapted to the rear region of the implant, characterised in that the tensioning of the implant against the distal end of the outer tube takes place by means of a tensioning device having a lever.
