A system is disclosed for heating a flow of intravenous fluid comprising an intravenous tube (3) for connecting a source of intravenous fluid to an intravenous catheter, the intravenous tube comprising heating means (11) integrated therein for raising the temperature of the intravenous flow in the tube and connection means (6) for connecting said heating means with an external energy source, and an external unit (2) comprising the external energy source and activating means for activating the heating means in the intravenous tube by providing electrical or therrnal power to the heating means.
By providing integrated heating means in the tube, the path between a source of intravenous fluid and an intravenous catheter is ensured to be highly hygienic, because the number of connections wherein the flow of intravenous fluid can be contaminated is limited to a minimum as compared to other systems with multiple connections to external units.
