A friction-enhancing material is applied to an outer surface of a swellable element of a downhole tool. The friction-enhancing material helps prevent axial extrusion of the elastomer of the swellable element. The friction-enhancing material may include particles, a mesh, and wickers, among other kinds of friction-enhancing material, and may be disposed on or embedded in all or a portion of an outer surface of the swellable element. |
