You point out an absurdity that, I think, naturally follows from the whole sterilization process that capital punishment has gone through.
Unlike the guillotine or firing squad (or even hangings, which often end in decapitation), the electric chair promised to keep all the blood inside the subject. Later, gassing and lethal injection eliminated that pesky burning-flesh smell as well.
They disinfect the needles for the same reason - in the hope of making the messy bit of work that is killing someone into something sterile, civil, even wholesome.

the vet I work for will put a bandage on the animal after the final injection. Force of habit I suppose....even though it seems stupid because after the injection is given the dog/cat dies in a matter of 30 seconds or so...

Human rights. Execution these days has to be quick and painless. Infection might cause something that would effect something and cause suffering.

Yes, it's probably just out of habit more than safety I'd imagine.
