The restrictor device includes two or more restrictor members having a helix shape extending along a longitudinal axis X; and fasteners that connect the two or more restrictor members to each other to form the restrictor device. At least one property of the two or more restrictor members is selected such that a bending portion of the restrictor device moves along the restrictor device when a magnitude of a force applied to the restrictor device changes.
