An endovascular device, comprising:
- a tube comprising a selectively bendable portion;
- a plurality of slots formed in the tube, each of the slots disposed partially around the circumference of the tube;
- a control element extending through the tube, the control element connected to a distal portion of the selectively bendable portion, wherein movement of the control element with respect to the tube is configured to bend the selectively bendable portion;
- and
- a spacer disposed within the tube and placed between the tube and the control element, the spacer comprising a solid configured to reduce sliding friction between the tube and the control element.
