Why did Dignam wear gloves and hospital moccasins in 'The Departed' while killing Sullivan?

You’re right. He wore the shoe covers, gloves, and a hair net to not leave traces behind, what is called “cross-contamination”. This just improves his chances of not getting caught.

"Biological evidence requires care to guard against the possibility of cross contamination either by the investigator or by other biological specimens at the scene. Equipment is available to crime scene investigators which aide in the prevention of cross contamination. Types of equipment include:



Tyvek white paper body suit



Paper mask that covers nose and mouth



Eye protection



Latex or Nitrile gloves



Sleeve protectors



Shoe covers



Hair net"
