Abstract
Embodiments include a system for setting a seal in a wellbore including a sabot arranged proximate the seal, the sabot being supported by the seal and having a first diameter larger than a second diameter of the seal. The system also includes a bridge coupled to the sabot and in contact with the seal, the bridge extending axially away from the sabot and positioned within a slot formed by an extension of the seal. The system also includes an energizing ring that drives legs of the seal radially outward, the energizing ring applying a radial force a leg proximate the sabot to at least partially deform the sabot
