Abstract
Disclosed embodiments relate to isolation devices for use downhole in a wellbore, for example to isolate a zone of a well. Isolation device embodiments may include a slip, a wedge, a seal element, and a retaining mechanism. The slip may have a run-in position with respect to the wedge and a set position with respect to the wedge. The seal element may be configured to expand radially during movement from the run-in position to the set position. The retaining mechanism may be configured to allow movement of the slip from the run-in position towards the set position, but to lock the slip in the set position. In embodiments, the retaining mechanism may be configured to prevent dislocation of the slip when set, for example forming a retaining cage around the slip.
