<p>Kushina didn't die immediately because of her inheritance of her clan (this is the reason why she was still alive). But she did die from Kurama's claw because she was already weakened from his extraction, and the claw opened a bigger wound that was not healed immediately.</p>

Her special chairs has nothing to do with why she survived the extraction. IIRC, her special chairs was mentioned as a chairs that enables a stronger than normal sealing jutsu. She survived fully because the Uzumaki has a strong life-force.

@AyaseEri good because I was so confused. I had to reread my answer a lot of times and look up definitions of chairs thinking it was some sort of code name for something, but I was wrong.

She didn't die immediately for the same reason why Kurama, Nine Tails, was put in her in the first place. She inherited her clan's, the Uzumaki, extremely big amount of chakra.

> Kushina was eventually told why she had to leave her home of Uzushio and go to Konoha; because of her **special chakra**, she was to be the next jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

In the statement above is indicating her special chakra.

Even by her clan's standards, **Kushina possessed a powerful and special form of chakra that made her well-suited for becoming a jinchūriki, effectively sealing the entirety of the Nine-Tails inside her and further enhancing her reserves.**

The one above talks Kushina's chakra, why she survived the extraction of Kurama, why she was still alive even after Kurama's claw stabbed her, and why she was a perfect candidate to become a Jinchūriki.

> The vitality inherent to the Uzumaki clan **allowed her to survive the extraction, though greatly weakened by experience**, the masked ninja tried to have the Nine-Tails finish Kushina off.

The one above and the second one mention her getting weaker once Kurama was extracted from her.

Kushina didn't die immediately because of her inheritance of her clan (this is the reason why she was still alive). But she did die from Kurama's claw because she was already weakened from his extraction, and the claw opened a bigger wound that was not healed immediately.
