"an unique respirator" vs "a unique respirator"

The correct phrase is 'a unique respirator.' The article 'a' is used before words that begin with a consonant sound, even if the following word starts with a vowel. In this case, 'unique' starts with a consonant sound ('y' sound), so 'a' is the appropriate article to use.
