The invention relates to a heat exchanger tube (1) which is a component of a heat exchanger of an oxygenator. The heat exchanger tube (1) comprises a tube body (2) consisting of thermoplastic polyurethane (PTU). The tube body (2) has a Shore hardness of greater than 60 D. This results in a heat exchanger tube optimised for use in a heat exchanger of an oxygenator.
