We give a characterization of uniformly convex Banach spaces in terms of a uniform version of the Kadec-Klee property. As an application we prove that if (xₙ) is a bounded sequence in a uniformly convex Banach space X which is ε-separated for some 0 < ε ≤ 2, then for all norm one vectors x ∈ X there exists a subsequence of (xₙ) such that , where is the modulus of convexity of X. From this we deduce that the unit sphere of every infinite-dimensional uniformly convex Banach space contains a -separated sequence.
