We will show that in an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space fl, there exist constants N E hV and c, d E JR such that every unitary operator can be written as the product of at most N positive invertible operators {a k } c B(fl) with II akII < c and 11 a 'lI^ d for all k. Some consequences of this result in the context of von Neumann algebras are discussed.
